George Stevens World War II Color Film Collection

Film Collection

Collection Summary: During World War II, George Stevens joined the U.S. Army Signal Corps and headed a film unit from 1943 to 1946 under General Eisenhower. His unit shot 16mm color film documenting D-Day, the liberation of Paris, and the meeting of American and Soviet forces at the Elbe River, as well as horrific scenes from the Duben labor camp and the Dachau concentration camp. Stevens helped prepare the Duben and Dachau footage and other material for presentation during the Nuremberg Trials. In 2008, this footage was entered into the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as an "essential visual record" of World War II.
