US Navy: American unloading in Normandy: Unloading of a British unit since a LCA. Sight the quality of the camera angle, it probably acts of a exercise, since the soldiers wear the very common shorts to Africa, but not very frequent in Normandy.

Part 1 - Canadian forces.
Part 2 - Soviet army.

Photos of Al Capone, probably the most famous gangster ever.
