First beachhead prisoners.

First beachhead prisoners. Battle-weary German prisoners are sheltered in one of their own beach defense trenches while waiting to be marched to a prisoner-of-war camp on the beachhead in France. In the background DUKW and other equipment can be seen, while one of the Allied tanks, caught by German shell fire, burns fiercely. These prisoners were among the first to be captured by the Allied Expeditionnary Force in the initial landings in France June 6, 1944.
