The Hawker Typhoon’s devastating rocket armament was effective against tanks, gun emplacements, buildings and railways. Coastal shipping was another target, including this unfortunate tug caught in the Scheldt estuary in September 1944. In this case the shell splashes from the aircraft’s four 20mm cannon assist the pilot in correcting his aim before unleashing a salvo of RPs.

A great retreat, scorched earth, getting ready for the defense.

Winston Churchill holding a Tommy Gun at an inspection of the coastal defences of the Heugh battery in my home town of Hartlepool July 1940.
One of a series of many pill boxes designed to slow down the potential German invasion in Hartlepool and the surrounding Teesside area. Many more around the country in potential amphibious assault landings. This one is still standing and was intended for home guard and resistance troops to man and defend to the death, causing nuisance and delay to the advancing forces. Normally placed strategically advantageous points such as the crest of a hill on the main town roads and accompanied by other ambush tools such as oil/fuel barrels that would be spilled down hill and ignited again to inflict damage and delay on the advance.
One of the coastal defence guns (decommissioned) mounted on our town coast as a memorial.
Some of the equipment used at the Huegh battery.

Still from film shot in an Avro Lancaster by the RAF Film Production Unit, during a daylight attack on the Luftwaffe airfield and signals depot at St Cyr, France, by aircraft of No. 5 Group. A 4,000-lb HC bomb ('Cookie') and a smaller 500-lb MC bomb are seen just after they were released over the target.

The 291st Engineer combat battalion completed the replacement of the the Ludendorf Bridge (aka bridge at Remagen) in 32 hours under fire. 1100 feet.
This is the same unit about which Joachim Peiper proclaimed "the damn engineers!" because as he advanced without combat opposition, the 291st were able to stop his advance by moving ahead of him and blowing the bridges he needed.
