On Monday, 5.5 million pictures from WW2 will be released--It will feature Omaha Beach pictures, along with aerial photography.
"Evidenceincamera has been created by The Aerial Reconnaissance Archives (TARA), at Keele University. Our aim is to make the aerial reconnaissance photographs, deposited by the UK Ministry of Defence at TARA, accessible via the internet. For the first time, you can access 5.5 million photographs taken over occupied Western Europe, by the Allies during World War II. Work is continuing to make millions more photographs taken throughout the world, during World War II and later conflicts, accessible.
During World War II, photographic reconnaissance played a major part in the intelligence war. The advanced photographic techniques developed, gave intelligence officers the ability to view the enemies activities in 3D, and make highly accurate assessments. Discover a new way of looking at our history, and our future at evidenceincamera. "
