I saw a documentary some years ago about the film crews who shot many of the photos at that time. Photo # 11 was actually taken on June 7 and not on D-Day. The weather had gotten worst on June 7 with high waves. The film shot shows a landing craft being swamped by a large wave and sinking and the rescue of the personnel from that craft. The photo is a still from that film sequence.

Ref. Photo #3. One of the comments I seen about the movie Saving Privet Ryan was that the US Rangers did not land using Higgins boats, but were carried by Canadian crewed LCA’s.
