I cant remember the photogrphers name but it is one of the six photos taken at Omaha beach when the first wave went ashore.

I think he took 30+ pics but they were ruined in the development process,,,

"If you're pictures aren't good enough,
you're not close enough", Robert Capa.

He took 106 pics at Omaha Beach, but the darkroom technician at London, eager to see the images, dryed the film too fast, ruining all the photographs but ten.
