| Belgian civilians flee the coming Nazi onslaught, while American paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division discuss options. A General Motors CCKW 2½-ton 6×6 truck is visible, as well as several jeeps, an ambulance, and an M20 scout car with its side armor sheeting removed for wheel repair. This open-topped, turretless version of the M8 Greyhound armored car was used as a command car, anti-aircraft platform, and armored personnel carrier. | |
