An Allied beachhead in the period after the D-day assault during the invasion of Normandy, France, June, 1944,in World War II

Allied invasion of Normandy France, during World War 2. 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.
