Normandy Invasion footage
This film from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) begins with casualties returning to England from the Normandy invasion of June 6, 1944. The last minute or two appear to show naval vessels shelling Omaha Beach. The final shots look a lot like Pointe du Hoc, shot at eye-level, so you can't really make out the "point", except for some shallow rocks. The high cliffs are unmistakable. If you look carefully, you can just make out the figures of troops at the foot of a scree slope before a tall cliff, without a lot of additional supplies, equipment and reinforcements. The tide is in as well, which builds a strong case that this is later in the morning of June 6th, so this could be the only moving image footage of the Rangers' assault on the Axis position at Pointe du Hoc.
The included slates identify this as footage from Coast Guard, U.S. Navy and OSS cinematographers despite the reel being found in the holdings of the U.S. Army Signal Corps.

Thank you for posting! The shots of the neighborhood and houses remind me of my neighborhood in Hamtramck as it was in the 50's when growing up. There were still some automobiles on the streets from that era when I was young. Wow, what a blast from the past!!!
