Captain Michael Burn and Private Paddy Bushe of 2 Commando are marched through the streets of St Nazaire by German naval troops. Burns and Bushe were found holed up in the engine room of a vessel in the harbour and were flushed out of their hiding place later on in the day. Burns is attempting to give the ‘V’ for victory sign with his outstretched fingers, knowing he was being photographed for German propaganda purposes.
