The Third Reich In Colour (3/3) : The Liberation of France

For educational purposes

In 1944, in southern England, Allied troops were getting ready to land in Normandy.

US soldier Jack Lieb was there with his amateur camera. On D-Day, John Ford shot in color with his camera crews.

His Hollywood colleague George Stevens also landed in northern France with his team on 6 June 1944.

Those men documented the advance and finally the liberation of Paris up close.
