About 15 German prisoners with hands on their heads, are lined up under guard on a sandy beach area, behind barbed wire, where they are being searched, one-by-one, by an American military policeman. Suddenly, they drop to the ground, as a low flying airplane passes overhead (unseen). They get back on their feet again. Next, a burning army truck is seen with a dead soldier lying nearby. (He wears an armband and is likely a medic.) American soldiers wade ashore from a landing craft tank (LCT) through surf, at what appears to be low tide. Another LCT (#587) is beached nearby. Larger landing ships are seen further offshore.
