57mm M1 anti-tank gun on street, Normandy
Here we see an 57mm M1 anti-tank gun in a posed picture on a street somewhere in Normandy during 1944. If any German tanks were really expected along this road then the cameraman and gun crew would have been in much better cover! The 57mm M1 was the American designation for the British QF 6-pounder anti-tank gun, which replaced a 37mm gun in US service.
