African American Field Artillery Battalion of U.S. 92nd Infantry Division, equipped with tractor-drawn 8-inch Howitzers, in Mantes-Gassicourt, France during World War II.
American soldiers of a Field Artillery Battalion in the 92nd Infantry Division (Colored), "Buffalo Soldiers," are seen at their 8-inch howitzer emplacement, among trees near Mantes-Gassicourt, France during World War 2. Their M4 high speed tractor is parked nearby and two soldiers unload 8-inch shells from it. One hands them to the other who uses his feet to roll them off the back of the tractor where they fall to the ground, which is covered in straw grass cuttings. Other soldiers roll the heavy shells away. Next, gun crew members are seen relaxing around their gun, which is hard to see against the foliage behind. The crew commander, an Army Captain, is seated on the ground reviewing documents, while a young soldier digs into the turf with a long-handled shovel. A number of 8-inch shells is arrayed on the ground. Closeup of the soldier digging with the shovel. View of other gun crew members relaxing, including some playing cards. Closeup of some card players. (Note: This gun crew is likely from the 795th or the 999th Field Artillery Battalion)

Views of Southern France, under German occupation in World War 2
Film opens with map showing lower France and Mediterranean areas. However, it shows images covering primarily the French Riviera (or Côte d'Azur) under German occupation during World War II, in 1943 or 1944. German infantry march along a road. A flight of German FW-190 Fighter airplanes flies inland from the Mediterranean Sea and crosses low above a harbor. Change of scene shows a single fighter plane buzzing the Marseille Port. (It looks like a P-47 with invasion stripes. But It does not draw any anti-aircraft fire.) Camera tracks it from vantage point at the Marseille Basilica, high above the harbor. Brief view of the Basilica as the aircraft passes. A glimpse of the Marseille Port below from the Basilica. View of the Marseille Transporter Bridge designed by Ferdinand Arnodin and built in 1905. (It was destroyed after these films were made, in 1944.) A German soldier peering through binoculars in front of a 2 cm Flak 30/38/Flakvierling, quad anti-aircraft gun position. Another one is seen in the background.

Scene shifts to German soldiers marching near the French Riviera beach and palm trees. Italian cavalry are seen riding in formation, ostensibly from Nice. Italian soldiers in trucks are being transported along the Riviera waterfront. A road sign points toward Toulon at 6.3 kilometers away. (So this location is probably near Sanary-sur-Mer.)
