Film Description:
One of the most decorated Signal Corps combat cameramen of World War II in Europe was a 25-year-old Jewish American soldier from New York’s lower east side named Walter Rosenblum, who recorded many of the conflict’s storied engagements in stunning photographs and motion-picture footage. From the bloody D-Day landings on Omaha Beach and the capture of Cherbourg, La Haye-du-Puits, Saint Lo, St. Malo and Brest, to the bitterly fought winter campaign in Alsace, and the advance of the U.S. 7th Army across southern Germany, Rosenblum quickly proved to be one of the Signal Corps’ ablest and most courageous cameramen. After eleven months of near-continuous combat, Rosenblum accompanied the first American troops when they liberated the concentration camp at Dachau on April 29, 1945.
