Summary
edit| Description |
This striking panorama of the French invasion beach was made by a Coast Guard Combat Photographer from a hillside cut with trenches (foreground) of the ousted Nazi defenders. The Channel waters are black with shipping, as reinforcements and supplies are funneled ashore for the conquest of the Cherbourg Peninsula. Balloon barrages float overhead to protect the ships from low flying enemy strafter. One balloon rests on th deck of an LST. Headed inland are long parades of trucks, loaded with troops and supplies. |
