American solders. Normandy, France. June-July 1944

Neat . Pictures of that pattern are rare and that's one I hav'nt seen before .
Thank you , Chris
Great pictures as always but I'm curious about the weapon held by the soldier in the left foreground. No front sight but hard to see if there is a scope on the weapon. It's either a M1903a4 or a shotgun imo but would like to hear other opinions
Lighted up a bit but still can't tell. Model 11 perhaps?
Carbine with a grenade launcher???
I think it's a carbine too.
That cammo pattern looked an awful lot like the German version. I think it resulted in more than a few incidents of "Friendly Fire."
Common knowledge...that's why it was withdrawn and is so scarce today...Quote:

There is a pic floating around of a German sniper being captured by a Brit sniper team and in the one marching him out you can hardly make out his left leg against the brick work such is the blend between the two. I have tried to copy the pic from the web to post but it wont copy have you seen this pic Mark.
