US soldiers under fire

US coast guardsmen and Navy beach battalion men are shown hugging the shaking beach at Paesternum just south of Salerno as a German bomber unloads on them. In the background of the picture -one of the most outstanding of the war - debris from a bomb hit can be seen in the air. Coast Guardsmen said this was much worse that the Sicilian and North African invasion in which they also participated.
