Cuz Windham of Panama City was one of thousands of U.S. Army paratroopers who jumped into France in the early morning of June 6, 1944, to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany during World War II.
Sixty-five years ago today, Cuz Windham of Panama City parachuted into German-occupied France during the D-Day invasion. Windham, 87, holds a photograph of himself and another U.S. Army paratrooper taken during training.(TERRY BARNER | The News Herald)

Photojournalist Robert Capa's famous image from the D-Day invasion. When the film from the assignment was rushed back to England for developing, a darkroom technician eagerly awaiting to see the dried negatives accidentally used too much heat to dry them and melted the negatives and ruined much of Capa's images from the attack.
