This photograph was taken during Lieb’s stop at Mont-Saint-Michel in the summer of 1944, in the phase following the breakthrough from Normandy. Helen Kirkpatrick was one of the few accredited female war correspondents of the Second World War; she reported for the Chicago Daily News from occupied and liberated Europe. Mont-Saint-Michel was evacuated by German forces in August 1944 without major fighting and served Lieb’s film as one of the distinctive motifs of the Normandy hinterland between the fall of Cherbourg and the liberation of Paris.
