U.S. Army Prepares For Invasion Of Europe!
Preview of things to come. Practicing on a large scale grim determined American troops rehearse for the invasion of the European continent. Invasion barges (Higgins boats) towing low flying barrage balloons moving to secure a beachhead beneath the whine of live ammunition. Motorized equipment rolling ashore in the wake of the infantry. Everything timed and planned to the minute as they prepare for the actual test.
At the amphibious training center, an actual village is used to train men in the art of fighting street to street. Nothing is being overlooked. When the Americans move in they're going to be ready for anything.
