Son of Erich von Stroheim

Member of the International Combat Cameramen Association. Joe von Stroheim, son of the famous silent movie director Erich von Stroheim, before he enlisted in 1942, the younger Von Stroheim lived a storybook life, riding to work each morning with Clark Gable and making a living photographing the stars. Then, at 23, he was sent to war, first to take pictures in Europe and later in the South Pacific. Many of Von Stroheim's stories are a tangled web of places and dates, shell sizes and camera models, military jargon and cameraman jargon, sometimes obscure but gripping because of his vividness.
