The D-Day Photographs of Robert Capa

You will not believe this story, Robert Capa lands on Omaha beach, swimming ashore with the second wave of soldiers. He manages to capture 106 photographs documenting the first couple hours of the now-famous invasion, rushes back to back to London to have the film processed, A darkroom technician sets the dyer too high and the emulsion on three and a half of the rolls melted, completely erasing 95 of the 106 photos.
