- Secretary Austin and actor Morgan Freeman hold a fireside chat to discuss an upcoming documentary about the 761st Tank Battalion, also known as the Black Panthers, who were the first Black tank unit to serve in combat during WWII.
Thank you Mr. Morgan Freeman!!!! Excellent interview and outstanding documentary about the heroes in the 761st tank battalion!!!
Their motto “Come Out Fighting” was true for 183 days straight on the front line…
RIP (dad) SSGT Floyd Dade and your fallen comrades.
My father would be so proud of this moment!
Thank you all who made this possible!!
When Morgan Freeman speaks, I click and listen!
You better!
I loved listening to black panthers!
Thank you Secretary Austin for this wonderful interview with Mr Morgan Freeman about the brave tankers of the 761st Tank Battalion of WWII!
I wonder if this story will be banned in Florida?
Why wasn't this in my history books at school? Black Panthers and communism drew total blanks from me.
It was taught in school, in CT. This isnt new. New Englanders are 100% on not looking like slaveowners, no matter how hypocritical, but it is great for education.
I dont feel any way about it, but it seems weird people dont know we have had thriving aocialist and communist parties in the US before the 60s when we shot activists and students and anyone famous outside of the two major parties. And some in them, of note.
@@charlottehammond8975 Yes, indeed. I thank my lucky stars for the internet and fill my old mind up with all those important things I was formerly without.
Yeah I never heard of this either until now. Even the Tuskegee Airmen I never heard about in school
@@naijaplayer How about bombing Black Wall Street?
i would not be surprised if 50% of americans actually think Morgan Freeman is god, i remember him back in sesame street
The Electric Company
@@JenP2776 ya right jen! corrected! having flash back of morty moot mope
Black History is American history and it should be Told
Morgan Freeman? Sure, but . . . General Raytheon? 😳 No, tank you!
I remember when the 761st made first contact with the Soviet Red Army in Steyr, Austria, in April 26th 1945. A tank pulled up, stopped, and out popped the head of a female tank commander. The Russians had female tank crews way back then...
That’s amazing!! My dad Floyd Dade was there as well. He was in Company A with Captain David J Williams a white officer. My dad said he was a fair man and didn’t do the usual cruel punishments to blacks. All those punishments were legal to do back then. My dad said Captain Williams was out in the snow and mud with his radio telling his tankers targets and where the tiger tanks and anti tanks were hidden.
Thank you Mr Morgan Freeman for your dedication and sharing their remarkable service to the United States by fighting 183 days in ETO!
@@shaunp792 Thank you, I read it in their self penned book --"Come Out Fighting", back in 2003. It changed my life. Respect to your Pops, and all that served.
@@mahalallel2012 appreciate your reply and yes I love that reading about the 761st “Come out Fighting” book changed your life! I know it gives many people pride to know about them and to accomplish what they did being on the front lines 183 days straight in ETO. Respect to you as well!
My fathers copy of “Come out Fighting” is in pretty bad shape but you can still read it! There are 2 copies in the National Archives in Washington DC! I didn’t know that until I saw the Morgan Freeman documentary about the 761st that aired 8/20/23. I learned so much more about them. It used to bring tears to my dad’s eyes when he spoke about the war and the Gunskirchen Lager concentration camp. It made sense why they were fighting so hard and so long to have Double Victory. Freedom for the Jewish people and Freedom for blacks in the United States. They were hoping if they fought hard and well then blacks would be seen as equals to whites at the end of the war. Unfortunately things were the same and if you were Black and wearing your uniform off base, you’d likely be lynched and killed, shot, blinded, hung, etc.
@@shaunp792 The 761st were the first Allied mechanized unit to cross the German border. They ran point in front of the 4th Armored Division. They took about 50% casualties and were nether credited for that sacrifice. Patton rated the 761st as the best of the best
And I love listening to morgan freeman
I wonder how much Loyd Austin will be getting paid from Raytheon when his time in the administration is over
Same as he received before he was Sec Def..
What ever it is, he deserves it. He did not become wealthy being in the Army. Not like a politician.
The Beginning of my Education started with folks like Lavar (Reading Rainbow)And this Great Gentleman Mr.Morgan Freeman Himself Electric Company 🎯
Brave men fought for our freedom, I'm so pleased that when they came to England they where treat like the soldgers they were. I hope that is true.
Loved this! I hope to see more things like this, instead of the usual rage clickbait (not referring to Rising, but The Hill's other short videos)
Warren G. H. Crecy, the World War II hero known as “the Baddest Man of the 761st”
Don't forget the US 9th and 10 US Cavalry, Colored) the "Buffalo Soldiers" fighting the Western Indians. Some of those men fought against Spain with Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba!
I was surprised to learn that the Black Panthers (or, at least, their leaders) were openly Leninist Communists!
The 761st “mascot “ was the Black Panther. Their motto was to “Cone out Fighting” they were not affiliated with the Political Party Black Panthers that were formed 24 years later in October of 1966. They had no relationship.
They would fight quickly and fast like the black panther animal…
Define " american" please
Any and everything that isn’t foreign
@@therealk-tone214nothing new, its been a colonial settler state. not indigenous.
Everything you are not
@@automatic_systematic 🤡clown
did yall know jackie robinson trained with these guys?
Being a black panther & a kardashy seems ta be a contradiction
I thought the ussa was invading persia today
Im scawed
Who that smiling?
Tank DESTROYER Battalion. Hence the Black Panther eating the tank :)
Austin a mic sellout.
What does that even mean?
automatic systematic likes austin because he's black and for no other reason. Go look at my comment to automatic systematic, I think you might like it. Austin is a just another diversity hire ruining our military.
@@automatic_systematic military industrial complex sellout. He’s a warmonger
Austin is a diversity hire
That's GENERAL RAYTHEON, soldier!
Takes a good ole boy network hire to claim diversity hiring is a problem. Irony
"Good ole boy" network existed from America day one. Diversity programs 40 years.
He's an American soldier, veteran and Secretary of Defense. What have you done for the United States in your miserable life?
@@automatic_systematic Sir, I'm a US Army Tank Commander (M3A2 Bradley). I'm a combat veteran(Iraq) and served in the initial NATO peacekeeping mission in Bosnia (IFOR). I was also an instructor at Fort Knox, teaching M3A2 OSUT to IET soldiers. My father (a tank platoon sergeant) also served in Iraq with the 24th infantry division. My older brother served in Iraq too with the 82nd airborne division as an infantryman. My son was an infantryman in the 25th infantry division in Hawaii. When I tell you Austin is a diversity hire it's because he's a diversity hire trust me. He also disregarded his oath to the constitution by issuing at least one unlawful order, the order that required service members to take an experimental vaccine. I think it's safe to say you've taken his side because of his skin color and for no other reason. Shame on you for not judging him for his lack of character and his illegal orders.
@@automatic_systematicCould not have said it better. Those that make those comments, have done nothing with their life.
😂😂😂
Is this a story?
nope.
An American story, gaping farthole
@@charlottehammond8975who cares what you think. If you even know how to think
@@automatic_systematic 🤡 clown
This is so weird.
