During his service in World War II, American author J.D. Salinger was treated for “battle fatigue,” which is now typically diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Salinger served in the U.S. Army as a counterintelligence agent, but his first experience with combat was on D-Day (June 6, 1944), when he participated in the Normandy landings on Utah Beach. He also fought in the Battle of the Bulge and participated in the liberation of a concentration camp in Germany.
