Staff Sgt Norman T. Hatch, a combat cameraman who filmed the bodies on the beach, produced images that were so disturbing that he had to obtain permission from President Franklin Roosevelt before they could be shown to the public But Lt.

I chose this photo because I’ve watched parts of the movie, and read the text, the part that really touched me and tore me apart was when the men had to dig up bodies from the mass graves with their bare hands, after digging them up they had to pile them up, throw flammable fluids such as gasoline and burn the massive piles of bodies so that no sign of this mass murder was left.
