Mont-Saint-Michel, the medieval monastery island on the border between Normandy and Brittany, was among the stops that Jack Lieb filmed following the advance from Normandy. The island was reached in the summer of 1944 without heavy fighting; the monastery and the narrow lanes of the citadel remained largely intact. Lieb’s color footage documents the early postwar phase of the place and supplements the section of his film between the Normandy hinterland and the liberation of Paris.
