Sous le feu ennemi, St Malo, juin 1944 Tirée à NYC, 1981 Épreuve argentique d'exposition, 266x340 mm, signée Under Fire, St Malo, June 1944 Printed in NYC for Chicago exhibition, 1981 Gelatin silver exhibition print, 266x340 mm, signed One day Capa and I jeeped from Mont St. Michel to the front near St. Malo, where the German garrison was holding out although totally surrounded. We came to a small seaside hotel which served as a command post. During a lull in the fighting I went into the garden, from which one could easily see the enemy far down the beach. Two Americans and three FFI (resistance fighters) were taking shelter from the machine gun fire. "Where's it coming from?" I asked the GI in the middle of the picture. "I'll show you." He took me a block inland and crossed the street. I followed; a single shot rang out. "Funny," he said, "that never happened before." Funny, I agreed.
