I recall an illustrated article in Modern or Popular Photography, 20-or-so years ago that had the then newly-found in Paris proof sheets that clearly showed sequential photos of many members of the platoon, each taking their turn at ‘dying’ at the exact same spot on the slope of the hill.
After this initial article, I do not recall seeing any further mention of this find in any photo magazines, and have always wondered if Cornell Capa or some other interested parties had put a lid on the truth, as in ‘Liberty Valance’ “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.”
