George Stevens, the American film director, and cinematographer was assigned by General Dwight Eisenhower to head up the combat motion-picture coverage unit during World War II, covering the war in black-and-white 35-millimeter film for newsreels and military archives.
But while documenting the Allied forces' advance towards Berlin, he took with him a 16-millimeter camera and boxes of Kodachrome film on which he would shoot a personal visual diary of the war.
The images captured with his personal 16-millimeter camera would provide a collection that remains the main historical record of World War ll in color film.
