The Magnificent Eleven
''The Magnificent Eleven'' are a group of photos of D-Day taken by Robert Capa. Capa was with the second wave of troops landing on the American invasion beach, Omaha Beach, who faced heavy resistance from German troops in their bunkers within the Atlantic Wall. While under constant fire Capa took 106 pictures, all but eleven of which were destroyed in a processing accident in the ''Life'' magazine photo lab in London. The surviving photos have since been called the ''Magnificent Eleven''. Steven Spielberg is said to have been inspired by these images when filming ''Saving Private Ryan''.
==Taking the pictures==
Capa came ashore with the men of the 16th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division on 6 June 1944 (D-Day) in the second assault wave on Omaha Beach. He used two Contax II cameras mounted with 50 mm lenses and several rolls of spare film, and took 106 pictures in the first two hours of the invasion. Capa returned with the unprocessed films to London, where a staff member at ''Life'' made a mistake in the darkroom; he set the dryer too high and melted the emulsion in the negatives in three complete rolls and over half of a fourth roll. Only eleven frames in total were recovered. Capa never said a word to the London bureau chief about the loss of three and a half rolls of his D-Day landing film.
Although a fifteen-year-old lab assistant named Dennis Banks was responsible for the accident, another account, now largely accepted as untrue, blamed Larry Burrows, who worked in the lab not as a technician but as a "tea-boy".
Capa's former editor, John G Morris, has disputed the existence of the so-called lost pictures in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, which was reported on 12 November 2014. "It now seems that maybe there was nothing on the other three rolls to begin with. Experts recently have said you can't melt the emulsion off films like that and he just never shot them," Morris said. "So I now believe that it's quite possible that Bob just bundled all his 35 together and just shipped it off back to London, knowing that on one of those rolls there would be the pictures he actually shot that morning."〔http://amanpour.blogs.cnn.com/2014/11/12/robert-capas-lost-d-day-photos-may-never-have-been-shot-at-all-says-his-former-editor/〕
