Fear Lay Blackly Deep Down
The reporters who escaped the Italian stalemate in Italy invariably headed to London, where preparations were gathering pace for D-Day, the invasion of France.

But nothing could counteract the growing sense of tension, as Pyle, Stoneman, Whitehead, Capa, and countless other correspondents prepared for the big day.
