This is a PBS American Master Series documentary covering the life of Robert Capa.

Robert Capa (Budapest, October 22, 1913 – May 25, 1954) was possibly the most famous war photographer of the 20th century. He covered five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War. Capa documented the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy, the Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris.

From 1936 to 1939, he was in Spain, photographing the horrors the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, he became known across the globe for a photo he took on the Cordoba Front of a Loyalist Militiaman who had just been shot and was in the act of falling to his death. Because of his proximity to the victim and the timing of the capture, there was a long controversy about the authenticity of this photograph. Historians eventually succeeded in identifying the dead soldier as Federico Borrell García, from Alcoy (Valencia) and proved it authentic.

...I don't see where all the confusion lay: Sterotypical jab at France, compleate with references to their lack of 21st century hygeine, what medication, Farhad.????..oh sheit!! Yeah!...those meds...Hey...go watch the Gainsbourg post i left....he's what i'm talikin' about....

I would love to finally get to france, and have someone give me the smug, holier-than-thou, ugly american cold shoulder.....I really do want to shove Normandy up their collective, ungratefull,-poor quisine havin',Jac Chirac electin' asses!!!!

I thank you for sending this video sfjocko. To think the entirety of the war in iraq was in those to two towers...i remember that day like yesterday. Very compelling mate, much graditude. And let us not forget those who gave there life for those trapped in The World Trade Centers. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his own life for his friends-John 15:13" I'll try to find out what Eisonhower said before Normandy. Again much graditude sfjocko.
