Bob Letterman's daughter Gail posted this link earlier to the Facebook page "Bob Letterman -The master of the large diorama-"
It is all in color from 16mm color film. It is well worth the watch. I told Gail that she should still stop by here and post once in a while as I know some of us would still like to hear from her.

I think its a shame the British didnt have these sorts of dedicated film crews but i suspect that the US needed this footage to keep the news reals spinning at home and to keep up the support. The british probably had enough hatred for the Germans anyway as they had been bombed. The sad part is nearly half a million British troops crossed the channel during June 1944 but because we had no film crews it would be easy for future generations to think we weren't even there.
