In the weeks before D-Day, thousands of Allied soldiers and accredited war correspondents who were to cover the invasion concentrated in southern England. Jack Lieb documented this preparation phase in color as one of only a few cameramen. The correspondents—among them personalities such as Ernie Pyle and Jack Thompson—were housed in field camps and waited like the troops for the order to embark. These photographs form the opening of Lieb’s film and show the milieu of the accredited press immediately before the largest amphibious operation of the Second World War.
