WWII Photos Seen for the First Time
World War II
Vintage Photography

Imagine unlocking a time capsule of the world as it was during World War II. Photographer Levi Bettwieser did just that when he came across 31 undeveloped rolls of film with labels spanning locations from Boston Harbor to Le Havre. The photos were taken by an unidentified American soldier stationed in Europe during the war. Bettwieser's painstaking work of processing the images is captured in Tucker Debevec's short documentary, which showcases some of the incredible prints.

The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's mission of inspiring people to care about the planet. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of the National Geographic Society.

Know of a great short film that should be part of our Showcase? Email [email protected] to submit a video for consideration.

Re: WWII Photos Seen for the First Time
There were probably 3 trillion photographs taken during WWII. A few thousand of them were published in books and newspapers. Every closet in Europe and North America has a shoebox full of grandpa's old WWII pictures nobody has ever seen before.

It could have been Omaha beach were the Rangers had to scale Pointe du Hoc Cliffs under fire. If I was the photographer, I would probably take a picture of this.

Most, if not all, of the pictures look like they were taken after the war. The guy in the video said 1947..

Great find, thanks OP.

Wonderful stuff - I just wish that he had taken the time to also edit them with contrast, light, dark, brightness - they come so much more to life. I did that with the one of the mass being held on a ship and it really pops once you enhance it, compared to the original. All these need is some fine tuning - such treasures.
