I thought this was a stage shot, but there are explosion clouds at the end that didn't come 40mm ack ack shells falling back to earth. There might be burning aircraft plummetting, but it is hard to tell. Looks like the Germans were trying to hit the logistics tail of the beach head. The battery pointing to sea and all that.
I was surprised the Germans has much to throw at the beaches by 1944, resources for aviation assets being shunted to the Eastern Front pyre, and all. The Lawton B. Evans had to shoot back at some planes, tho, making my assumptions wrongheaded. Can a Liberty ship be an ace?
My dad was 6 when this happened, but all these men sorta look like him.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
