Lunchbox Lecture: Filming D-Day with Jennifer Rossel

Livestream

What did Omaha Beach look like on D-Day? Most of us will immediately call to mind the Hollywood hits The Longest Day or Saving Private Ryan. But fewer will know that there was actual film footage of the landings captured on June 6, 1944. Join the National D-Day Memorial for a conversation with Jennifer Rossel, the daughter of Richard Taylor of the 165th Signal Photography Company, the man who filmed the only known motion picture footage of Omaha Beach on D-Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGYZU2wg_dA
