I'm looking for any video clips of the D-Day landings. I only know of a few which are well known, the Brits getting ready to get of a landing craft, an American shot as he's crossing Omaha and then Americans moving towards the beach and plumes of water are rising among them as they move in. I will be incorporating them into a video I want to make from my trip to the American Cemetery in Normandy for my grandfather. If you have a source for high quality that's great but anything downloadable will work. Also anymore sources for high res photos relating to the landings. Particularly American soldiers. Thanks.

I posted this one (http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=86874&highlight=101st) a while back, which has some great footage of the 101st embarking for the D-Day drop. There's some additional footage (just a few seconds) at the end of the video taken during the Normand campaign. Obviously the footage of 'chutes in the air is from training and/or Market Garden.

Hope that'll help.

Thanks thats a great video. I am specifically looking for the one in which a US soldier is advancing up the beach and is shot not far from the waters edge.
