Is the GI carrying a 30 cal Browning MG and giving that window a burst it looks like the belt flapping and bullet strikes up on the window

[browningautorifle]

It's possible, he's definitely doing some cover with it. I used to carry one of those and probably wouldn't have fired it that way with a guy out to my right front though...a bit unpredictable... The other guy appears to be responding also...

At a minimum, there is a mess of brass on the sidewalk that probably belonged to the guy with the MG.

With his mate wearing another belt close by advance under covering fire maybe against a last ditch German sniper doing his bit for the Reich
