And unforgettable잊혀지지 않는 image from an indelible지울 수 없는 day. But who is that soldier coming ashore on D-day. 65 years later, Tom Brokaw will tell us the answer. From NBC News world headquarters in New York, this is NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. The 65^th anniversary of D-day, the allied invasion of Nazi occupied France that turned the tide전세를 바꾸다 in World War Two. For good reason, it’s all long been called “The longest day.” One remarkable photograph became perhaps the iconic우상의 image of that unforgettable day. Our own Tom Brokaw has the story of the picture.

 

This is an enduring영구적인 image of D-day. An American soldier struggling ashore under deadly fire in the first wave. One picture and so many stories. A courageous용감한 photographer, an image almost lost. And who was this young American? What happened to him? That picture was taken right about here. This is Omaha beach.  And on that day, 65 years ago, it was a killing field. The photographer was legendary Robert Capa. Who is he? Did he survive? For many years, it was a mystery. But now 65 years later, we know so much more about the story.

 

Under constant끊임없는 fire, Reilly, a 22-year-old private이등병, began to swim. As he reached the shore, he was hit four times. An x-ray shows the German cartridge실탄 he’s been carrying ever since. That morning, two men hold him up on the beach, but only one was wearing a soldier’s uniform. “what the hell this guy doing here? You know I couldn’t believe it! Here is the cameraman on the shore!”

 

Combat photographer Robert Capa was working for LIFE Magazine. The only press photographer that come ashore with the first wave on Omaha beach. When his film arrived in London, photo editor John Morris rushed them to the dark room. Under deadline pressure, a terrible mistake was made. The films were overheated and all but ruined. Of the 106 frames, only 11 images survived. LIFE magazine reached four million American homes, including Reilly’s mother Vita. She knew immediately Capa’s photo was of her son.

 

But on the 40^th anniversary of D-day, LIFE magazine identified Ed Regan as the man. The mystery seemed to be solved. Until 20 years later, an amateur history buff광 Laurel Gates determined Regan was not the man in Capa’s photograph. Reilly was wounded that day, patched up꿰메다 and sent back into battle. Six months later, he was seriously wounded in the Battle of The Bulge벌지 전투 and his war was over. He returned to Seattle, retired, now his days are filled with fishing from his dock, sailing with his children and grandchildren, and remembering…..always remembering the day he crawled the shore at Omaha beach and into history.
