Conversely, the combat photographer had his camera, a sidearm, and a jeep, was sent wherever there was fighting to document what was happening. He often saw the worst of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Charles Eugene Sumners was a still photographer in the 166th Signal Photo Company, and in \u003ci\u003eDarkness Visible\u003c\/i\u003e he offers his World War II memories--some sad, some happy, many horrendous, all life-changing. With the aid of many of his photographs reproduced in this book, he remembers boot camp, the trip overseas, and events in France, Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg, including the Battle of the Bulge, while covering Patton's Third Army's field artillery, infantrymen, engineers, the 10th Armored and the 6th Armored. Other subjects include Hitler youth, refugees, labor camps, POWs, other combat photographers including his friend Russ Meyer, and going back to Europe after the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Eugene Sumners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786412186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786412181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.82h x 6.96w x 0.44d","brand":"Charles Eugene Sumners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799429361919,"sku":"9780786412181","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/darkness-visible-charles-eugene-sumners-9780786412181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
