Correct:
Photographer Andrei Freidmann, famously known by his working name Robert Capa, was one of the greatest contributors of World War II imagery. His picture of the D-Day invasion is one of 11 remaining pictures captured from the historic battle-- four film rolls were destroyed after a darkroom employee overheated the negatives in the drying cabinet. Life magazine published the photos anyway, telling readers that the surviving images were out of focus.
