Grandstand View of Normandy Beachhead
This is how the American section of the Normandy beachhead looks, viewed from a bluff where German
gunners once had a position. As far as the eye can see there are invasion crafts, ferrying fighting Yanks
and other Allied soldiers as well as munitions and equipment to the beach. Barrage balloons swing above
the transports like lazy cows to protect them against possible dive bombing attack. AH is quiet on this strip
of beach now, but in the first hours of the invasion death and terror ran rampant here.
Yanks Given First-Aid Treatment on Ship
Insert shows United States navy hospital corpsmen aboard the battleship giving speedy treatment to
wounded Yank army Rangers, casualties of the fierce battle for the beachheads that marked the first few
days of the Allied invasion of Normandy. In lower photo the casualties are being brought aboard. Wounded
in France, the Rangers were carefully hoisted aboard the battleship U. S. S. Texas after a speedy trip out
from the embattled shoreline in one of the latest landing crafts.
Family Starts 1944 Harvest
With sons and farm hands in the armed services and defense plants,
1944 harvest begins to look like a “ma” and “pa” job. In many parts
of Kansas the farmers are pooling their work in order to get the har
vest done. Prisoners of war as well as a large number of school
children and city people on vacation will be doing their part.
Romans Arrest Fascist Leaders
Armed anti-Fascistic civilians help a Roman policeman escort an
ex “big shot” of the Fascists to the jail where he will be held until
tried for crimes committed under the Mussolini regime. The civilians,
soon after the fall ol' Rome to Allies, armed themselves and began an
open hunt, until Allied authorities took over the job.

Capture of Saipan Opens Japan
This map shows why Japan’s empire is no longer safe, with the
capture of Saipan, now that the Yank’s amphibious and 20th air force

from which attacks can be launched against Tojo’s industries and mili
tary bases. Tokyo is less than 1,500 miles from Saipan.
Enlarges Airport for B-29s
Somewhere in India, B-29s, America’s most powerful bombers, were
tuned up at this base and started from there on the mission to bomb j
the steel center of Japan. This photo show? *’ie native women, used |

Nature's Hexagons
Among the countless things na

flakes, the cells of the honeycomb
and the segments of the eye of the
housefly, says Collier’s.
The hexagonal form is also
found in chemistry. When a strong
solution of salt water, colored with
carmine water color, is dropped,
drop by drop, into a weak solution
of salt water in a flat plate, the
round red drops converge and
form a pattern of hexagons.
