Celebrating D-Day | WWII Veteran William Levine | USC Shoah Foundation

WWII veteran, William Levine, recalls heading for Utah Beach in Normandy, France on D-Day. William explains how believing he wouldn’t be wounded helped him to survive. You may also watch William’s full testimony at https://youtu.be/IPr9r4jh8rc

What is D-Day?
June 6, 1944 marks the "D-Day Invasion" (or "Operation Neptune") – when Allied (American, British, and Canadian) Forces landed in Normandy, France as part of the top-secret mission, "Operation Overlord." Over 150,000 soldiers landed on five Normandy beaches, from the sea and the air. This day (and the operation’s victory) is regarded as a turning point in World War II, and the "beginning of the end" of the war.
