Just watched “Seize and Secure” a one hour documentary on PBS about the battle to secure the bridge at La Fière on DDay
Capt. Schwartzwalder plays a prominent role in the battle. They identify him as later coaching Syracuse University to the national championship in 1959. They show Ben in his SYRACUSE jacket.
I believe Ben was a 32 year old high school football coach when war broke out. He joined up and he was much older than the other men.
Ben’s underling Lt. John Marr is interviewed extensively for the film and is a real hero. Quite moving. I urge everyone to watch. You can catch it on demand
