US Coast Guardsmen and Navy beach battalion men are shown hugging the shaking beach at Paestum, just south of Salerno, as a Nazi bomber unloads on them. In the background of the picture - 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 Sicillian and North African invasions, in which the Coast Guard also participated.
