In 1944, Jack Lieb, who was too old for the draft, found himself covering the war for Heast's "News of the Day". In addition to the 35mm black and white film camera that he carried to shoot content for the newsreels, he also carried his own personal 16mm color film camera. This is a look at some of the film that he shot along with his own commentary recorded 25 years after the war.
