The bodies of the 11 black American soldiers, unearthed in the last winter of World War II, offered a post-mortem look at the horrors of their final hours.
The U.S. fighters had their eyes gouged out — while still breathing. Tire tracks showed where the Nazi SS rolled armored cars over the men. Bullet wounds illustrated how the soldiers were shot in a sadistic fashion meant to inflict maximum suffering, not death.
There was more: Multiple stab wounds, blows from rifle butts, severed fingers, broken limbs and fractured skulls.
This wasn't a mere execution. Blood lust stained that pasture in Belgium days before Christmas in 1944.
The dead were assigned to the 333rd Field Army Battalion, members of a unit lauded for its deadly aim in battle. Yet theirs was a sacrifice long ignored by their country.
In 1949, a U.S. Senate subcommittee released an official report exhaustively detailing 12 similar massacres. Every last casualty was listed — but the Wereth 11, as they came to be known, didn't warrant mention.

1944...those men died for a country that refused to appreciate them and treated them as 2nd class citizens.

 

[BDR]

Wow smh

 

[Z MONSTER]

That dude has a good channel. He did a story about the "Free French Army" Something like 60% of that army was blacks from the colonies. They did most of the fighting for France during the Normandy invasion. Ironically they wouldn't let them liberate Paris. He did a story of blacks fighting for the Axis. It was pretty interesting.

 

[REDLINE]

I’m saddened…

you know?

I would not be surprised if this is one of the many injustices heaped on black soldiers by their own country that inspired the Falcon & Winter Solider story line from last season.

Lest we not forget to Memorialize those captured under the Confederate's Flag dying for liberty and justice.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori – or the “old Lie”, as Owen describes it – is a quotation from the Odes of the Roman poet Horace, in which it is claimed that “it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country”.

When has, is or will ever be it worth dying for?

The treatment of former slave as solders by those in the Civil War lacks comparison and reason: you have to find out for yourself to know why I want you to stop right here and go check out just one: Nathan Bedford Forrest

The difference is blacks fighting during the civil war was fighting for the freedom and independence of black peoples, WW2 was fighting for the freedom and liberation of people who hate you, And, if you survived WW2 you’d come back to the US to lynched on a tree.

I wish I didn't read this

They're savages

RIP to those brothers

That's why I always took in what Furious said to Tre

Both truly worthy of the highest honor for those who served and are serving. Commanding the gratitude for their valor often elusive but owed.

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

All u.s.a wars are money grabs by central banksters

Who instigate the war..

Then lend money to both sides...

War is big business to demons...

And body count and bloodshed..

Aka population control.

Are all part of war profiteering

Terrible. I don't even have words for this. I can't fathom this kind of savagery.

I was lucky and blessed to be able to take a daytrip through Dyersburg TN this Sunday. At a rest stop there was a Civil War guide for travelers indicating local sites and memorials. When I went inside there was a fully staffed state employees who gave me maps and guides and even mentioned using Waze, Garmin, and Google Maps. On a Sunday, and all that. Who else could heal such a bloody stain, but God?

I think Abraham Lincoln put it best at Gettysburg: "But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract."

Their resting place, their sacrifice our acknowledgement, consideration, and respectful privacy.​

Top 2 posted on here has to be white people feeding black babies to alligators and the aborigines of Australia telling the story about how cacs use to bury kids alive neck deep into the ground and take bets on who could kick their heads off and the farthest

Wipe all those cacs off the planet with a plague piece of shits

 

[conspiracy_brotha]

Many black GIs on their return to the United States faced the same shit.

 

[dbrizzz]

Thanks for posting. The History Channel aired a documentary on this very same subject. The only silver lining is that most of those ss bastards got theirs as the war progressed

My Grandfather Cyril Roberts, eldest son of George Arthur Roberts aka "The Coconut Bomber" ( https://www.bgol.us/forum/threads/s...os-ever-captured.1069808/page-2#post-22003752 ) was part of the rear guard at Dunkirk in 1939. He was captured and held as a POW until the Americans liberated the camp around March 1945. The Nazis not anly detested the Jews but also on their list of extermination were Black people. My Grandfather was mix raced, born in England in 1922. During the time he was held at the POW camp in Poland the Nazis put him up against the firing squad wall on 3 occasions for no other reason than he was black. Fortunatley for him on each occassion the other British soldiers refused to allow him to be executed and declared him a British soldier and all of them went and stood in front of him.

Knowing what I have been told about the Nazis, I am not surprised to hear of the suffering of these 11 men, my grandfather also went as far as to say that the average German soldier were not bad men, just soldiers following their orders and not overly malicious towards the prisoners but the Nazis and Gestapo were something to fear and be very careful of when they were around. Thanks to @BenQ & @praetor for posting the documentaries.

Take a look at the link I posted about my GGF. Civil rights leader, migratory soldier, WW2 fireman etc.

Mandela 's tears were cauterized in the salt mines of South Africa. His stoicism and leadership were also vulcanized with no ability to sweat. Imagine what you could do if like him you neither cried nor sweated- a bloodless coupe over a fully funded militia.. I think it started with truth and reconciliation. Sad in the US we can't even acknowledge truth. I remember when we shunned apartheid and locked down on them and said that could never be us.

That's 35 miles from my hometown and always a stop when I go back down to visit family.

Props to your Great Grandpops @madgoose I am glad that you are knowledgeable of those events and are able to convey them to us as a bit of the history of our contributions after decades of whitewashing.
