Raw WWII Combat Film Found In Colorado Basement
2008-11-11
Here is remarkable raw footage of combat over and across the French and German countryside during World War II following the D-Day Invasion in June 1944. The film was shot by Albert Fagler who lived through those days as an Army Combat Photographer.

The film was found by his grandchildren in the basement of his home in Colorado following his recent death. The film is silent but dramatic as it shows a taste of what those brave Americans experienced to preserve freedom for our nation, and give freedom to millions in Europe.
Air combat footage begins at about 10:00

#2  Some very cool stuff in there--all the more interesting for its ordinariness.
