After the landing in Normandy in June 1944, Allied forces relied on massive artillery deployment to break German resistance and secure the advance inland. Jack Lieb captured the firing of a U.S. gun at the invasion front with his 16-mm Kodachrome camera — one of the rare color recordings of combat operations during this phase. The scene appears in the film section between the landing at Utah Beach and the advance on Cherbourg, when the Allies systematically brought German positions under artillery fire.
