Text: CAMERAMEN READY TO FILM INVASIONNarrator: Somewhere in England, Army Signal Corps cameramen await the order to go into action with General Eisenhower’s forces of liberation. Aboard ship, Navy cameramen are stationed to photograph the part the fleet will play in the coming action. These are some of the men whose courage and daring make possible many of the thrilling films you see in United Newsreel. Some are on leave from their studios; others are on active duty as members of the armed forces. All are ready to record the picture story of the war’s greatest drama.
