please different story the short that i'm off to our. district f. it is already did. i'm one of those who believe that if we need to have this sort of educational approach towards the viewer that it is because. the city's good they need to think that an image isn't something you just receive you need to analyze it . saw as you saw that it's a case all make. up why. it's clear that there are 2 aspects of the images captured by the cameraman filming the landing. and later on the in lynn operation in the images as they were shot and then you have the way they are used for instance we. are not going to show british or american soldiers execute germans who have surrendered they don't show that. the. however they are going to shoot
10:46 am
and show images glorifying the courage of the allied troops in the. book you can see it through the choices that are made by the cameraman. yeah yeah. and all street and then those images are sent and edited with music and narration that serves and that's understandable in a time of war that serve the interest of their propaganda. was. i got only one vacation historical day forced by moscow challis americans have begun the long awaited invasion by germany remains under guard on the ground and even if they are trained in back shot the events of june 6th 1904 from the middle of the night until the end
10:47 am
of the day are told in a completely organized way it was essential for the german propaganda to never present the events in a chaotic way and to use narrated sequences instead of people even from the young german units are watching the enemy's approach and transmit their position alert to do so they are going to use old images often videos of military drills and insert them in order to get a continuous progression from the middle. the night with the 1st commandos and him and of the operations of the 1st day. there are also images that were indeed shot on that day and that are authentic he says were out so we don't care where is from nova scotia. the authenticity of these images was easy to verify because they provide
10:48 am
a number of compelling element yet it could also see. for instance when you see the pictures of the canadian prisoners who were held at the art in the abbey you can see the camera zooming in on the patches of the soldiers on the regiment number on their military papers so that any viewer would think what is true and it could be fabricated since the canadians and americans could themselves verify that the prisoners were indeed their disciplines and you forget if you can i just you know i just electrical. i was able to get up close with any kids that a lot of time i was a kid here we have the british press for instance the times of london newspaper.
10:49 am
here we have the issue from june 7th 1944 nothing really stands out at 1st you just have this on the top right corner saying that the great assault has begun illusion and i don't know if you do and you need to open the paper not in 1st or 2nd page but all the way to page 8 above the crossword puzzle. with a selection of 5 photos showing the different aspects of the landing on the one picture shows the allied fleet at dawn on june 6th 1944 this one here you can see all the ships stationed off the coast of normandy. here the defense system of the beaches it's interesting because you can see all the fortifications built on the beaches it creates. and the 3 other pictures show the preparations the british troops boarding with ships about to cross the channel and the last one with a canadian flag to show that the americans and british were not the only ones in gauged in these operations canada also took an important part in these events of june 6th 1941 that we did. not
10:50 am
a word about the presence of french soldiers there were some who took part in the operations with the british commandos the famous keeper commandos here we have the front page of the daily sketch from june 8th you can see the troops landing in normandy. this newspaper isn't bad shape but on pages 4 and 5 we have very interesting photographs. look at those 3 days after the landing here's what the british war reporters and probably some americans too they were taken from the american sections of the beach have decided to send to the newspaper when it clears on the planet and that will difficult you can't see the actual landing the pictures are taken from the ships away from the shore. without showing the british or american soldiers fighting on the beaches the difficulty proving. the idea is to show that the landing is going well there's no mention of casualties or captured soldiers just give us who they don't talk about what happened on omaha beach is
10:51 am
probably a film about they don't talk about the 3000 casualties in this sort of like he did back. when they only saw the landing craft full of soldiers. they don't show the fights and the deaths nor the temporary american cemetery in omaha if it's a massive the operations are going well massively. the idea is to reassure the populations and the political authority. but on the here we have a british magazine translated into french so and at french readers called ensemble the 1st issue came out in july $944.00 that it's almost that so what's interesting is that there are lots of pictures of the landing in the want to go sequel with a commentary by a french soldier malise shohei who landed with the british troops within the french kieffer commandos movie show of a militia of a key explaining minute by minute the 1st 2 hours of the landing of a careful submitted indonesia although fawcett on public you fail to speak minute

commandos we were able to destroy the cameroons and the next morning the british troops completed the assault on the casino and yet they told the list you'll need to be in luck as he will. shake on the morning of june 6th we had 10 killed and 36 injured who were evacuated going to recreate. the commandos were a volunteer unit to do the table where you could hear if you could quit whenever you wanted to no questions asked less. like kiefer said before we boarded. in know what to expect. if some of you want to leave come and tell me i won't hold it against you and nobody laughed. you know you go to war for your country i don't go to war for funny because war is
