Français : Réunion de hauts gradés anglo-américains, avec les drapeaux des deux pays accrochés.
Le général debout est le Lieutenant-General John Clifford Hodges Lee, Chief Services of Supply US European Theater of Operations, surnommé ("Jesus Christ Himself") à cause des initiales de ses prénoms J.C.H. et pour le distinguer du Lt-Gen Courtney Hicks Hodges et également pour sa suffisance, voir ici ne citation, page 97, de Histoire du débarquement en Normandie d'Olivier Wieviorka : " Le général Lee, adjoint au commandant de théâtre et responsable des Services of Supply (SOS) donc de l'intendance, n'a habituellement droit qu'à une peinture caricaturale. Il est vrai que, imbu de sa personne, John C. H. Lee fut vite surnommé, en raison de ses initiales et de sa mégalomanie, " Jesus Christ Himself ", Peu aimé, arrogant, il ne se déplaçait qu'à bord de son train spécial, exigeait toutes les marques de respect et avait tendance à distribuer le matériel comme une faveur. " www.flickr.com/photos/mlq/6531085107/in/photostream et "Lee was a martinet who had an exalted opinion of himself. He also had a strong religious fervor (Eisenhower compared him to Cromwell) that struck a wrong note with everyone." Ici: worldwar2history.info/Army/profiteers.html Le Lt-Gen. Lee à Cherbourg le 6 juillet on le voit de profil sur la p001037 à Brécourt, voir ici : www.flickr.com/search/?w=58897785%40N00&q=p013417+or+...
