Ahem... well, if the day is overcast and I were pilot of a recon aircraft, I'd probably stay below cloud cover... just like Priller and his wingman have done for the only strafe flown on D-day... There's also no smoke or other sign of battle. Aside from the shelling: What do you suppose should be burning there? No shrubs left in the shelled area to burn. Grenades and shells don't leave burning stuff behind, neither does small arms fire. No tanks to burn, either. I'd give it "in dubio pro reo" and consider it period. If you buy the poster you'll probably be able to make out more details. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Any evidence of landing craft in that pic? Having just landed a battalion sized force, you would think there would be several boats ashore, as well as others ferrying supplies in and wounded out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
