The photograph was taken in May 1944 in London and belongs to the introductory section of Jack Lieb’s film, which documents the environment of Allied forces in England immediately before D-Day. St. Paul’s Cathedral was a symbol of London and British resolve during the Second World War; its survival of German air raids in 1940/41 held iconographic significance. For US soldiers stationed in England, London landmarks in these final weeks before the invasion formed a familiar backdrop to the daily reality of war.
