Froze the frame at 3:46 and she was shooting a Nikon S2 in that frame, which is kind of funny as the Nikon S2 wasn't introduced for almost a decade after WWII.

Thanks Tim, I was wondering about that and if it was a period correct camera.

Later, in Season 4 or 5, Sgt. Saunders is wearing a Rolex (Submariner?) before the model was introduced (1953).

My favorite WW2 female photographer. Who famously bathed in Hitler's bath tub.

This thread does not pay tribute to female combat photographers... Dickey Chapelle died on the battle field in South Vietnam in 1965.
