What the invasion: of the European continent look like. American assault troops get may battle indoctrination at a combat school in England. Here attacking Infantrymen are moving past burning fluid from a flame thrower which they have just used to knock out a pillbox. They are now passing through the smoke to their next objective. England, Oct. 28, 1943.
