I absolutely LOVE the way people would talk back then! The way they would throw witty comments back and fourth. I kinda wish we still spoke like that...
you guys are semi right. There were African, Hispanic, Asian and Native Americans who were all put up for medals of honor. Some got them. Some didn't, at least not until much later. Yes it's a shame, but there's something else. The same went with Irish, Jewish, Italian and German Americans. Basically everyone. In total, over 16 million people in the US alone served in WWII. over a million became casualties. 400,000+ dead and another 600,000 wounded. And yet there are less than 500 medals of honor dished out for actions in WWII. Including those done well after the war. The reason isn't as simple as it sounds. when the medal was initially devised and handed out during the civil war, it was kinda just handed out 'because'. But as it went on, the medal became less and less about actual grit and heroism, and more about politics and 'optics'. That right there is the reason why 'Chesty' Puller of the Marine corps had 5 Navy crosses and not a single medal of honor. Most of those actions were put up for medal of honors, but he was deemed 'bad for publicity'. as the US's wars progressed, more and more medals of honor were only given out posthumously. As dead guys can be vetted easier and can't really do anything to mess up publicity afterwards. It's unfortunate that I have to say this, but alot of the MoH's given after Vietnam were for pomp and show, and the majority of the people and actions that deserved said medal, would never and will never get one. There are alot of rules revolving around the MoH and unfortunately one is that it's "impossible" to upgrade from a 'lesser' medal to the MoH for the same action. This rule is often times the one they give us about why certain military personnel can no longer receive the MoH. But it's also disregarded when a politician wants to lay a political smokescreen and earn some 'street cred' among the veteran and military communities. TLDR: There are a lot of good stories deserving of MoH's but because of it's more political implications since after the early 1900s, our best way of honoring these stories is keeping them alive by talking about the people behind the stories. Like Yarnhub does. They've done more for the heroes of past wars and conflicts, than any politician ever has.
We know he deserved it. As Major Plothole points out it is political... like too much else. Thanks Yarnhub for telling their stories. It's important to remember.
And it's videos like this one that make me proud as a black man to have served in the Marine. Dispit a country who still treated those men as second class citizens, they still fought and gave their lives for this country in the hopes we could one day be better.
There should be, but Hollywood can't make a movie with a non white protagonist without adding all the camps.of representation, so expect Einsenhower to a Mexican lesbian
What I love about this channel other than their animations, is the fact that they’ll cover the stories of soldiers and events that most people may not have heard of as well as people and events that are well known. Keep up the great work!
To whom it my concern, Why would you dislike the video if you haven’t even seen it that’s not very nice to a team of people who work there butts off so we can watch this
It feels like an insult to Sgt. Crecy's name, to have gone above and beyond the call of duty time and time again, only to be denied the Medal of Honor. A total badass, and a loyal and courageous soldier until the end.
military awards are a crap-shoot. Soldiers who SHOULD have gotten the highest awards often get zilch while ones whose necks weren't even at risk look like a decorated christmas tree. THAT is why it is important to remember these stories.
There is no other reasonable explanation for this dude to not get a medal of honour than racism. Racism is a scourge on humanity wich must be wiped out. This dude is a legend
When he was 12, he got cleaned up, bought some flowers and ice cream, and told the mother of his future wife that he would marry her when she turned 18. Nine years later, he did. He was awarded a battlefield commission as a second lieutenant in May 1945. Several years later, in the Korean War, his tank was struck by a missile, gravely injuring him. He was awarded a Bronze Star and had gotten several Purple Hearts. He medically retired from the Army as Major. Total hero.
Harding Crecy and his battalion are one of the absolute chads of the war. This was quite an impressive story. Should not have been Silver Star. It should be the Medal of Honor.
@@dirtblock1383 This man definitely deserved his Medel of Honor. He just didn't receive it because of the racism and segregation that existed in the US Army back in the day.
@@dirtblock1383 you are correct. But I've seen white guys get the medal of honor for less (not saying they didn't deserve it, just that these exploits seem to be in that ballpark)
Completely agree. What an absolute warrior, exemplifies everything the Medal of Honor is awarded for. Lots of guys like him were passed up all the way through the Vietnam War because of his color. Even back then almost everyone thought that was wrong. Many soldiers owed their lives to those guys, that fact was not lost on many people.
Shame he didn't get the Medal of Honor The 761st Tank Battalion was one of the most effective tank batallions in WWII and their service is so underrated
Just in time for Juneteenth. Sgt. Crecy did not screw around, and fought like hell for six months straight. Huge amounts of respect for one of the many, many unsung heroes of the Second World War.
5:12 - That is some of the most realistic brass I have ever seen in CGI. You can actually see the dents in the case walls. It would be neat to see more Eastern Front Russian videos from you guys. Keep it up

Love your amazing as always work Yarnhub! Always the best entertainment in the youtube world. Your dedication to your craft is unparalleled! Thank you!!!
The story told by this video makes me think of a similar unit called The Harlem hellfighters but with tanks. They fight like devils who are named Hellfighters from harlem.
Bruh that was soooooo quick like wait was that a week?! Not a few seconds when this new video came out!??!! Unbelievable keep up the good work man love your vids
HELL YEAH! STILL HERE! I also like how the models of these tanks have already gotten on a near hyper-realistic design! Just a few more videos, or heck, maybe by next week, I might mistake these vehicles as live-action!
You are one of my number 1 favorite youtube channels. I have watched every single of your videos. Your content is very well balanced between being well researched and super immersive. I feel like I am in the fight with he Black Panthers.
Those of you who wish to learn more about 761st Tank Battalion through books: - Hit Hard by David J. Williams (this is my personal fav due to the conversations being included with his men he had plus you can connect to the characters and understand easily. He was a white officer who trained the black tankers rigorously as a slap-in-the-face to the other officers who looked down on them). - Brothers in Arms by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, overview of the unit's history, personnel and the future I have not read those yet but they're on my list: - Come Out Fighting: Epic Tale of the 761st Tank Battalion by Trezzvant Anderson - Patton's Panthers: African-American 761st Tank Battalion in WWII by Charles Sasser - The Black Panthers by Gina M. Dinicolo "Everyone has their eyes on you and is expecting great things from you. Most of all your race is looking forward to your success. Don't let them down and damn you, don't let me down!"
It amazes me that despite numerous examples of black troops behaving as bravely or better throughout history, they still carried the same prejudices towards them. Thats why history is important.
America: fights two racist empire in WW2 in name of democracy and equality. Also America: You don't receive the Medal of Honor for your bravery because you are black!
Guys can we get a discussion started because I want to know if anyone has ever gotten a real air kill with the Flak 88 in War Thunder? I can't seem to kill any plane as the traverse speed is too slow. Thanks!
He didn't just survive the cruel American racism, but also war in the midst of it! Hats off to such people who despite being discriminated against, give their heart and soul for humanity.
There were heroes from every state and country involved but it does seem like Texas has more. One of my favorites was Dory Miller. May he rest in peace.

How the hell did he NOT get a Medal of Honor. They man showed bravery and strength to the fullest.
Think about the time period, that will answer your question.
Yeah just because of a factor known as “skin color” hell I bet there’s more back Americans that can lead better than most NCOs
