The analysis of the 6 June 1944 photographs

This video examines the eleven photographs that Capa took on the morning of 6 June 1944 when he accompanied the American soldiers who landed on Omaha Beach under the fire of German machine guns. The contact sheet contains only nine photographs. Two have been lost. John Morris, who received the photographs sent by Capa, always maintained that the others were destroyed when the drying cabinet overheated. Referencing the investigations conducted by the American reporter A. D. Coleman, the Le Monde journalists explain that this theory doesn’t add up,  that there were only ever eleven photographs. When they interviewed him just before he passed away, John Morris admitted that there was likely only one film.
