Interesting to watch.
8mm home movie of D-Day invasion (and beyond) by American soldier
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYr4bbDj52Y&feature=g-u-u[/media]
Filmed by my great-grandfather, Cpt. John Scillieri, who was the doctor for the 237th Engineer Combat Battalion. The 237th Engineers landed on Utah Beach, and went on to build bridges over both the Seine (26 Aug to 28 Aug 1944) and the Rhine (21 Mar 1945), witnessed the Saint Lo bombing, and participated in the Battle of the Bulge, among other things. Grandpa John was there, with camera in hand, to capture it all.
