Following the capture of Normandy and the securing of Cherbourg, Allied troops and the war correspondents accompanying them moved through the northwestern French hinterland. Mont-Saint-Michel, the monastery-crowned mountain known as a UNESCO World Heritage site on the border between Normandy and Brittany, was briefly a transit point for correspondents and military personnel in the summer of 1944. Jack Lieb captured such everyday moments away from combat operations on his 16-mm Kodachrome camera—footage that documents the daily life of press correspondents during the war in rare color.
