    Somewhere there were Americans - they've spelled 'harbour' wrong. Possibly Italy or the French end of N Africa?

    Close up of the coast and ships.
    some of the photos have the same ship in it and the last photo is a close up of the ship and has writing on the side D?xxxxxx SV.
    Some palm trees in the background and houses.

    The Germans left many block ships and other (booby trapped) debris in harbours, notably Naples and Cherbourg; both ports where the Americans and the Brits worked on clearance.
