D-Day footage and the cameramen who filmed it

This D-Day footage on Sword Beach was captured by cameramen of the AFPU. Operation Overlord saw the largest amphibious invasion in history. On 6 June 1944, nearly 29,000 troops were landed on Sword Beach, and embedded among them were just under a dozen cameramen from the Army Film and Photographic Unit, who captured an incredible record of this momentous day. In this video, curator Michelle Kirby tells us more about some of the cameramen who brought these films and photographs back to us.
