WWII army photographers were issued cameras which were there times a bigger
cube than a  Hasselblad. Speed graphic type cameras were common. As were
twin lens Rolleiflexes.
They somehow got they all got shot.
Especially a Speed Graphic which is a mahogany wood box covered with
leather.
It floats. And are hand fixable in a foxhole.
