Soldiers, sailors, and airmen created more than 12,000 works of art. The artwork, commissioned by the U.S. government, has been hidden away in dusty military archives and basements, unseen since the war, until now. Most of the artists were trained for combat and carried weapons. They stormed the beaches in the South Pacific, accompanied our men into Normandy, and fought with the ground troops in France and Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNarrated by Jason Robards, They Drew Fire was directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Brian Lanker. \"With words and pictures,\" says Lanker, \"...they speak from the heart about the experience of war, and they show us the images that come from their unique perspectives — the artists' outlook.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e1999, Color, 57 minutes, Letterboxed, Closed Captioned\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCredits\u003cbr\u003eDirected by Brian Lanker\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Nicole Newnham and Bonni Cohen\u003cbr\u003eNarrated by Jason Robards\u003cbr\u003eAn Actual Films Production\u003cbr\u003e© Lanker Inc. 1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtists Featured\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFranklin Boggs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoward Brodie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManuel Bromberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Draper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Gibney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Greenhalgh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdward Reep\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Home Vision (HVE) Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51442009997590,"sku":"133999","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2026617184841640scan.jpg?v=1781756416","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/they-drew-fire-combat-artists-of-world-war-ii","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
