An oft used photo, but one of my favorites.
No caption needed really but I'll put it up anyway:
"General Dwight D. Eisenhower gives the order of the day, "Full victory--nothing else" to paratroopers somewhere in England, just before they board their airplanes to participate in the first assault in the invasion of the continent of Europe"

A "Brigadiere dei Carabinieri" and an "Artificiere del Genio" dispose of two mortar shells M49A2 with 190 g TNT inside and a antitank rifle grenade M9A1, both american made, found at Ragusa, Sicily, 2015.

All the shells were in a bad shape and could have exploded at any moment, if improperly handled.
