During the Normandy campaign of 1944, the Allied forces accredited numerous American war correspondents who reported for newspapers, radio, and newsreels. Among the best-known were Ernie Pyle, Walter Cronkite, and Edward R. Murrow, who documented the course of war for the American public. Jack Lieb filmed these correspondents with his private 16-mm Kodachrome camera – one of the few color footages from this context, as corresponding documentation was otherwise almost exclusively preserved in black and white.
