Underneath dropping bombs. U.S. Coast Guardsmen and Navy beach battalion men are shown hugging the shaking beach at Paesternum, just south of Salerno, as a Nazi bomber unloads on them. In the background of the picure -- one of the most outstanding of the war -- debris from a bomb hit can be seen in the air. Coast Guardsmen said this was much worse than the Sicilian and North African invasion, in which the Coast Guard also participated." Italy.
