The Magnificent Eleven are a group of photos of D-Day taken by Robert Capa. Capa was with the second wave of troops landing on the American invasion beach, Omaha Beach, who faced heavy resistance from German troops in their bunkers within the Atlantic Wall. While under constant fire Capa took 106 pictures, all but eleven of which were destroyed in a processing accident in the Life magazine photo lab in London. The surviving photos have since been called the Magnificent Eleven. Steven Spielberg is said to have been inspired by these images to create Saving Private Ryan.
