In 1944, as southern England became the staging ground for the Allied troops’ imminent Normandy landing, the presence of US soldier Jack Lieb and his amateur camera was quietly profound. Meanwhile, on the pivotal day of the D-Day invasion, the renowned John Ford wielded his camera crews to capture the chaos and courage in striking color. In a parallel narrative, Ford’s Hollywood counterpart, George Stevens, embarked on a journey to northern France with his own dedicated team on that fateful 6th of June, 1944. Together, these individuals chronicled the relentless march of progress and the eventual liberation of Paris from an intimate vantage point.

While the annals of the first half of the 20th century brim with memories of two world wars, grand parades in Nuremberg and Moscow, and the indelible presence of leaders like Roosevelt and Churchill, there exists an obscure trove of images concealed within film archives and private collections. This collection isn’t the work of official documentation alone, but rather the fruit of a shared passion that bridged unlikely individuals. Whether it was Hitler’s companion, Eva Braun, or the Führer’s pilot, Hans Hans Baur, the enigmatic Marlene Dietrich, or even Roosevelt’s Minister of Finance, alongside Wehrmacht soldiers and the intrepid cameramen of the US secret service OSS, they all united in a singular passion: the art of capturing history in vivid color. Whether for private pleasure or as a solemn chronicler of momentous events, their lenses breathed life into history’s vibrant hues.
