From the GB Archives: Bill Coleman shared firsthand memories of one of the defining moments of World War II: the D-Day invasion at Normandy. He also recounted the terrifying experience of being captured by Nazi soldiers and facing the possibility of not making it home.
His story offers a glimpse into the realities of war and the lessons he carried with him long afterward. Preserving the experiences of those who lived through these events helps ensure their stories—and the history they witnessed—aren’t forgotten.
Bill passed away on December 15, 2012, at age 87. We’re honored to share his story.
