Cartoons drawn by
William S.E. Coleman, professor emeritus of theatre arts, are part of a
touring exhibition titled "The Winners Say Goodbye" in the former East
Germany. The exhibition, which opened April 12 in Schmölln, then moved to
Altenburg in May, will appear at Rochlitz in June and end at Mittweida in July.
The exhibition's opening was coordinated with the reunion journey of surviving
veterans of the 76th Infantry Division and the 6th Armored Division. Coleman,
a rifleman during the Rhineland and Central European campaigns, served as a writer-historian,
cartoonist, and set designer for USO shows during the occupation. His cartoons
appeared in a military history, Always First, which Coleman co-authored
and shared in illustrating with three other cartoonists. The reunion and exhibition
is being coordinated and covered in a docu-mentary by Ulrich Koch, a producer
for Athene Television in Berlin. Coleman is also consulting with Koch regarding
a comprehensive history of the 76th Division, which was part of Patton's Third
Army.
