Above: Calling in Naval Gunfire with an SCR-284 from a shell hole in Normandy. The soldier on the right is one of the 17 COMANCHE CODE TALKERS of the 4th Signal Company, U.S. 4th Infantry Division. He is likely taking tactical calls-for-fires on his SCR-536 (AKA BC-611), relaying from a nearby infantry unit in-contact. Note that he and the soldier in the foreground are armed with the M1 Carbine, the latter looking like a folding-stock paratrooper weapon. The GN-45 “cranker” probably has a Carbine slung across his back as well. Also note the M1903 bolt action Springfield rifle in the background; an unusual weapon for a team like this. Contrary to the idiotic premise of the movie “Windtalkers”, the code talkers did not have “security” guards standing by ready to kill them.
