- Oppose – A line of soldiers trudging up a hill after the (presumptive) previous action on the beach isn't really interesting or illustrative. Lacks EV. – Sca (talk) 13:12, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Support This photo, and similar photos, are often used to illustrate the Allied success in the Normandy landings in books and the like and has very strong EV. Consider what the photo shows: the day after the bloody and almost-defeated landing at Omaha Beach, it has been tidied up and is being used to land large numbers of troops and vehicles in broad daylight. The troops are bunched together and the landing craft appear to be operating freely, which illustrates that the Germans were unable to hinder the follow-up landings. This was the foundation on which the Allied victory was built. 08:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick-D (talk • contribs)
