Mont-Saint-Michel, summer 1944: In his 16mm Kodachrome footage, Jack Lieb captured war correspondent Robert Capa in front of the medieval monastery island. The scene belongs to the Normandy hinterland phase in Lieb’s film, when Allied journalists and cameramen explored liberated France. Robert Capa, a photojournalist working for the Magnum agency, was one of the most renowned war photographers of World War II and had himself photographed at Omaha Beach on D-Day. Mont-Saint-Michel, which the German occupation had left largely intact, rapidly became an early destination for Allied correspondents following the liberation of Normandy.
