<p><b>Arnold E. Samuelson</b> (1917-2002) was a combat photographer during <a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> who was among the first <a href="Allies_of_World_War_II" title="Allies of World War II">Allied</a> photographers to document <a href="Nazi_war_crimes" class="mw-redirect" title="Nazi war crimes">Nazi war crimes</a>.

</p><p>Before America's entry into <a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, Samuelson worked for the <a href="Eastman_Kodak" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastman Kodak">Eastman Kodak</a> Company in Portland, Oregon. In May 1942, he was inducted into the U.S. Army. He served in the Army Air Forces and later joined the <a href="Signal_Corps_(United_States_Army)" class="mw-redirect" title="Signal Corps (United States Army)">Signal Corps</a> in January 1943.

</p><p>Three months after <a href="D-Day" class="mw-redirect" title="D-Day">D-Day</a> (June 6, 1944), Samuelson came ashore on the Normandy beaches with the 167th Signal Photographic Company and began documenting the Allied military campaigns in <a href="France" title="France">France</a> and <a href="Belgium" title="Belgium">Belgium</a>. He saw service in the <a href="Battle_of_the_Bulge" title="Battle of the Bulge">Battle of the Bulge</a> (December 1944), and, in 1945, he was given command of Combat Assignment Unit #123. That unit consisted of two motion picture cameramen, John O'Brian and Edward Urban, and two still photographers, <a href="J_Malan_Heslop" title="J Malan Heslop">J Malan Heslop</a> and Walter McDonald.

</p><p>Samuelson's group served initially with the <a href="9th_Armored_Division_(United_States)" title="9th Armored Division (United States)">9th Armored Division</a>, advancing as far as <a href="Leipzig" title="Leipzig">Leipzig</a>, then was attached to the <a href="80th_Division_(United_States)" title="80th Division (United States)">80th Infantry Division</a> as it moved southward to Bavaria and <a href="Austria" title="Austria">Austria</a>.

</p><p>During this campaign, Samuelson's crew was the first group of Allied photographers to document Nazi crimes and the plight of concentration camp prisoners at <a href="Lenzing_Concentration_Camp" class="mw-redirect" title="Lenzing Concentration Camp">Lenzing</a> and <a href="Ebensee_concentration_camp" title="Ebensee concentration camp">Ebensee</a>, two subcamps of the <a href="Mauthausen-Gusen_concentration_camp" class="mw-redirect" title="Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp">Mauthausen concentration camp</a> in Austria.
