Following the landing in Normandy, Allied artillery units supported the advance of the infantry with field guns from entrenched positions. Such firing positions were decisive in combating German defensive lines during the breakout from the beachhead. Jack Lieb captured this scene on his private 16-mm Kodachrome film—one of the few color recordings of artillery operations on the Western Front in 1944.
