Fighting in France

Canadian soldiers in France, 1918.

A column of German tanks during the invasion of France, 1940. In the photo are several types. In the foreground with the large road wheels: Panzer 38(t), Czech tanks in use with the German army. On the far right; early Panzer IVs with short barreled 75mm guns for infantry support. Bringing up the rear; Panzer IIs with 20mm auto-cannons, they were fast, but not very useful. And behind that, tons of trucks holding infantry, fuel and supplies.

Gliders in Normandy, 1944. On the ground are British Horsa gliders, while American Waco gliders are still in the air being towed by C-47s.
