Normandy Invasion, 1944
American photographer Robert Capa photographed the invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. Known for his war photographs, Capa worked to capture the drama of an event rather than to create a technical masterpiece. He continued to photograph battles until he was killed by a land mine in Vietnam in 1954.
