In the countdown to D-Day, the plight of an African American GI sentenced to death for a rape he did not commit gripped the nation. Leroy Henry’s story unfolded against the backdrop of Operation Overlord, provoking an extraordinary response in Bath and the nation. The ticking clock narrative of a controversy that rattled American and British authorities gives us an entirely new prism through which to view the historic watershed. This fresh perspective challenges our assumptions on race, the ‘special relationship’ and the British people’s collective power in D-Day Britain.
