This footage was all shot on 6 June 1944, D-Day, by at least three separate cameramen.
A makeshift slate at 02:09 shows the following footage to have been shot by a "Sgt Connolly".
A slat at 05:17 shows the following footage to have been shot by Norman Clague, (who was sadly killed just 6 days later).
A slate at 07:00 shows the following footage to have been shot by Richard Leatherbarrow, of British No.5 Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU).
