- D-DAY TO GERMANY: RARE COLOUR Footage from D Day and the War in Europe
Jack Lieb was too old to enlist in the Armed Forces during World War 2. Instead of taking up arms, he took up his camera and documented the events before, during and after D-Day in his footage, From D-Day to Germany.
In this episode of WW2 Wayfinder, I have taken the original footage taken by Jack and enhanced it with tweaks to the audio, image quality and more importantly providing background information on Jack Lieb, and his colleagues like Robert Capa and other wartime correspondents who risked it all to record the momentous events that unfolded from D-Day to Germany!

I've seen bits and pieces of this but never the whole thing. Thank you for bringing this to RUclips.
My dad was the second wave in on Omaha. After Normandy was secured he was re-assigned to Patton's 3rd Army, 3rd Armored Div. as a tank driver.
My uncle went into Germany with your dad. He was 415 th of the 104 th inf div. Part of the first army after they captured Cherbourg. He was Kia feb 25 th 45 attacking duren the industrial area.
They are both incredible people, by the sounds of it.
A huge thank you to the family for sharing these scenes.
Absolutely amazing. I have studied the war for 50 years and I had no idea this record existed.
Fantastic footage and your narration,
Putting a name to these people makes it so real. My dad flew over on D Day in a Lancaster RCAF/RAF, He was a tail gunner. What if find special is the dog mascot, and how important they were. In my dad’s squadron had a dog, he was called ‘spot’. It was his dog but it became the squadron mascot, strange how men clung to a small animal. I have only one photo of him on a return from a mission with the dog on his shoulder. They meant so much. Such courage, we owe then so much.
While I've seen Lieb's presentation previously on YT, it's nice to see your additional content added with background information. Very nice job.
Thank you! His footage is a true Time Machine back to that era and incredible he was able to record so much of it in colour. Thank you for watching and glad the additional bit of info added an extra element to it!
Simply amazing, thanks so much for sharing.
Greetings from Australia.
👍🇦🇺😎
Absolutely amazing. You could almost feel like you were there.
Hi Jon
This is an interesting behind the scenes reel that Lieb filmed and personally narrated, whilst he was assisting George Stevens with the official US signal Corp D-Day to Berlin documentary which was narrated by Stevens.
It’s war correspondent stories like this that really makes you appreciate the efforts and sacrifices that Lieb, Stevens and tragically Robert Capa and Ernie Pyle did to show the people at home the true tragedy of war.
Thanks so much again for sharing another great video presentation with nice little technical inserts.
Cheers mate ❤😊
Thank you for sharing this video.
You’re most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it
This is absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this!
This was amazing!! Thanks for posting and sharing!
He filmed some great sites didn’t he! we’re so lucky his footage survived!
Thanks for watching!
@@WW2Wayfinder glad and lucky film footage from WW2 survived!! Was a dark period in human history and any surviving video reminding us as humans how terrible war is is worth preserving!!
Your added content was very educational. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this absolute interesting documentary and all your comments with it! What a great work.
What a great documentary of some of the action reporters saw during WWII, to bad 80 years later we still haven't learned that war is nothing but evil and should be avoided at all costs. Thank you for sharing this film and God bless all our service men and women.
"Nothing but evil"? Yes, but "at all costs"? Sorry, but no. When evil does its thing on you, what are you supposed to do? Stand there and take it? Think you can negotiate with the perps and forget the crimes they have heaped upon you? Deterrence works sometimes, but often, not. What was Israel supposed to do after October 7, avoid war at all costs?
Thank you so much for this video!! Love from Germany
Outstanding footage, thanks for putting this together and sharing.
Seen this many times , enjoyed your add ins .Well done.
Thank you! It’s truly incredible footage!
What a fantastic video. Very informative, and great to hear about it from someone who lived through it. Fascinating !!
Simply amazing film. Thank you very much.
You Sir have the most complete and comprehensive coverage of our nations greatest generation. I salute you for your time spent digging and finding your historic pictures. Thank you! I watch your channel exclusively. I cast onto my 70 inch TV. Again, God Bless you
Thank you!!!
I’ll have lots to come from Normandy over the next few weeks which I hope you’ll enjoy and some things that have never been seen before, but first a lot of editing!!!
Thanks again for your support I really do appreciate it!
Amazing, thanks for Sharing
Thank you. This was excellent . . .
I've seen this a few times. It's amazing looking at the people and wondering what happened to them, are any of the kids still alive, what the soldiers did after the war..... Brilliant channel too!
Absolutely fascinating, and of increasing historical importance......
superbe document!! moi qui cherchais des photos et films sur les correspondants de guerre pour
ma tenue pour le 80° D-DAY, impeccable!! merci et a bientôt.
This is such a great video!
One thing I noticed was the footage from Bernières-sur-Mer is Canadian not British, my great uncle landed there with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders, I'm actually heading there in October to visit the beach where he was and also will be going to visit Vimy Ridge.
Excellent film and narration. Thank you Jack. Agree - we just don’t learn our lessons from previous wars do we? All are terrible.
Sadly not, to go to war is definitely part of the human condition it seems, at least for politicians anyway. The rest of us, I’m not so sure!
This is a tremendous body of work represented in this video. What an amazing story of these journalists - men, and women that recorded the deeds done. Thank you for bringing this work to us all to see.
Couldn't agree more!
Incredible story, incredible footage of the war from a different perspective.
Thanks really enjoyed this
Love these kinds of vids mate sat from 5 oclock this morning watching it love history and love your vids bud you should do more like this could watch it for hours thanks John ❤
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! Jacks footage is incredible and thankfully the family got it to the archives so we can still enjoy it today!

You’re most welcome.
Great Memorable moments from WW II...Thank you Sir ❤❤
Very interesting is an understatement. A real snippet of history.
Unbelievable but amazing and so sad thank you for sharing this amazing piece of history at the same time.
Very good to view and informative.Brave men on D Day and even during the war.Sadly with current events unfolding I also wonder if mankind is here to stay !!!
Superb editing
Fantastic film thank you
YOu're most welcome. It's great to showcase this wonderful orignal footage.
Very cool! Thank you!
Thank you WAYFINDER.
My son, Roy Wulf, was honored to be able to participate in an event at the French Embassy in Washington D.C. on June 6, 2024 to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. We made a fun video of the event and posted it on his RUclips channel 'Mr. Roy Wulf' at ruclips.net/video/cphGjHyHXDw/видео.html -- My father (Roy's grandfather) was a B-24 Pilot in the Pacific. My wife's father (Roy's other grandfather, whom he is named after) was with the Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific. Let's continue to remember the sacrifice made at the landings in Normandy and in the entire Second World War!
Thank you for posting this much respect to the men and women who served may god bless you all.
I have NEVER seen this before. Fascinating and moving in equal measure. What a generation of people. We will never see their like again.
It’s incurable footage is it. Truly grateful to Jack who took the time to document it in such detail so we can better understand what they went through 80 years later!
Outstanding!
Bonjour avez vous cette vidéo en français ? Merci
Car la traduction n'est pas automatique et illisible. Merci
This is unreal. Wow.
Thank you! Jacks footage is like a time machine and it’s incredible that it survived as it provides such a great insight to those times!
Very interesting.
Thank you!
Intersting photography and narrative by an eye-witness.
It’s incredible isn’t it. And we’re all so lucky that the family preserved the footage!
juno was a canadian beach between british sword and gold beachers the men on the landing craft getting ready to bhit the beach were canadians troops you could see the shoulder flash on there left arm quite clearly
13:05; there are 3 men cut down, not just 2. Look farther out from shore…
Now correct me if I’m wrong but that wasn’t the 101st Airborne? Why would they be on landing craft?
hello i am wondering if i can use some clips of this for a video!?
Thank you
You’re most welcome!
Very brave and strong men.
Absolutely!
Brave men no doubt served with conviction un like our politicians 😮
Why was it so difficult to get footage on Omaha? We don't have much.
Mme Poulard rapidly swapping her German phrasebook for one in English...
80% of the ship's and landing craft were British. The Royal Navy made their greatest effort.
What Blair has done is unforgivable.
These formidable story should be shown to all people to avoid another ww in our days, 80 years later in 2024.
Many died in the ww2 soldiers and civilians. Brave journalist who took part of this war to record the atrocities of the nazis in Europe
My dad always told me he was a rear gunner on Spitfires !
If must have been another airplane. Spitfires are one man plane.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊
Boring
Thanks for the comment though as it all helps!
