D-Day to Germany: The Private COLOR WWII Footage of Jack Lieb

In 1944, Jack Lieb, who was too old for the draft, found himself covering the war for Heast's "News of the Day". In addition to the 35mm black and white film camera that he carried to shoot content for the newsreels, he also carried his own personal 16mm color film camera. This is a look at some of the film that he shot along with his own commentary recorded 25 years after the war.

This is an outstanding video, well worth the 45 minutes out of your day. JD usually narrates his videos, but there was no need for this one.

As long as I'm here, let me give a shameless plug for the channel presenting this video:  I have learned more about both the Civil War and WWII from The History Underground than I did the 11.9 years I spent in the public education system before they got tired of my shit and kicked me out.

JD's channel has a heavy emphasis on Normandy and Gettysburg, but he's covered many, many other battles in other conflicts. I've seen every one of his videos and watch them the same day I get notification that he's put another one out.

The cool part is most of his videos are about 20-30 minutes long, so it's not a big chunk of your evening watching one or two of them.
