Robert Capa (born Endre Ernő Friedmann) was a Hungarian war photographer and photojournalist, co-founder of Magnum Photos, known for frontline coverage including D-Day and 1948 Palestine.

Born Endre Ernő Friedmann, took the professional name Robert Capa; co-founded Magnum Photos (1947); published the book Slightly Out of Focus; D-Day photographs were published in Life magazine (June 1944); died in 1954 in Indochina (killed by a landmine).

Three DeBaser reviews (by enbar77) examine Robert Capa's frontline photojournalism: D-Day in Normandy, immigrant arrivals in Haifa (1948), and a Sicily landing scene. Reviewers praise Capa's proximity to events, the emotional charge of his images, and note historical controversies (lost negatives; disputed identities). The pieces emphasize human detail amid warfare.
