The First Wave Goes In

The First Wave Goes In

American troops race in to meet the enemy on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. Many of the most iconic and riveting photos of D-Day were taken by Robert Capa, born Endre Emo Friedmann, a Hungarian who is considered one of finest war photojournalists who ever lived. "If your picture isn't good enough, you're not close enough," he said.
