The Korean War book East of Chosin is very fascinating, really makes you think how those poor guys made it.

I know that we both didn't get it right, but here is one:

Photographer Andrei Freidmann, famously known by his working name Robert Capa, was one 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.
