During World War II, Hollywood director Samuel Fuller (1912-1997) was a member of the U.S. First Infantry Division, nicknamed "The Big Red One" for its shoulder patch. He used a 16mm Bell & Howell camera that his mother sent him while he was overseas to record the aftermath of the liberation of Falkenau concentration camp as well as other infantry actions. Fuller made the 1980 film, "The Big Red One," based on his experience in the division.
