World War 2 Combat Cameramen (Docu.)
 
Was pretty interesting and had quite abit of footage I hadn't seen.

Abit of warning; there's some graphic scenes in the documentary, so keep that in mind.

Some great footage in parts :up:

Nice find !

I'll have to look at some of these at home. I watched the first few minutes of the first episode and already saw new footage.

Yeah I was absolutely surprised at the amount of stuff I haven't seen before. I've been a history nerd for years and at least 70% of the footage was new ground for me!

I cant even start to understand what went through the minds of the combat cameramen who were in Omaha during the landings. To shoot a significant event like that and survive it just to see some twat accidentally dropping the reels into the sea. :doh:

To some that's called 'censorship' :DL

Just watched the first portion and...wow...thanks Dowly, this is a damn good documentary :salute: Top marks, the footage of the Midway battle and the hit on the Hornet is so damn crisp it's scary.

I have always believed that censors should be shot.

I love all the stuff Tom Hanks does for World War 2 veterans and documentaries like this. Sounds like a great guy and would love to meet him someday :DL

Watched it. Ok stuff, especially the interviews. Not much of a Tom Hanks myself though.

Thanks for showing up OTH...our ray of sunshine :shifty:

Nice find Dowly. I was not able to hear it as I'm at work. The models look very cool. I will check this out at home. :up:

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know Tom Hanks is the resident demi-god here at SubSim. Now I know.
