Heroes Among Us: The Black Panthers of the 761st Tank Battalion

- As a part of our "Heroes Among Us" series, Go For Broke National Education Center is honoring our Black American veterans of World War II. As our nation currently finds itself struggling with a crisis of conscience, we acknowledge that despite the promise of America, not all people have been embraced by America’s value of equality. In recognition and support of our Black brothers and sisters, Go For Broke National Education Center will be sharing stories of Black veterans of World War II. Of their courage, patriotism, and sacrifice. Despite the great discrimination they faced, they upheld America’s promise and provide us today with a sense of moral direction. In this video we honor soldiers of the famed "Black Panthers," or the 761st Tank Battalion, which was a segregated Black American unit that served during World War II.

The most under appreciated heroes most don't know existed. It's an outright shame what these selfless heroes had to endure at home, so much so that war was their sanctuary. THIS IS WHAT PATRIOTISM IS!
God bless the souls of the entire unit!
At the end of World War II, my father was a prisoner in the Gunskirchen Nazi labor camp, he was released by the 71st Squadron of the US Army and by the Black Panthers, the 761st Tank Battalion. At the time of his release, he was ill with typhus, and if the release was delayed by a few days, he probably would not have been Survives.
I cannot describe the deep gratitude I have for these units.
It should be noted that the first time my father saw black people was when he was freed by the Black Panthers. May the memory of these brave men be blessed.
These lines are written when in the State of Israel we celebrate Holocaust Remembrance Day.

WOW!
It’s sad that something like this has so few views and that all the other garbage has millions. God bless these men all others who gave their lives.
Amen
Amen
Black contribution to America has always been marginalized.
AGREED!
Sad but True
The Black Panthers of the 761st Tank Battalion consolidated the cause of freedom abroad and dealt a solid blow to the ideology of racial prejudice at home. Long shall they live in our blessed memory as their souls keep marching on.
Thank you for shining light of this great group of men ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
761st tank BNK, 442nd RCT and the Tuskegee fighter Squadron your one of the best soldiers we ever had! Thank you for the freedom and service.
The 761st Tank Bn and the 442nd RCT together would've been one formidable armored task force.
You are absolutely right about that!
There should be millions of views on this.
Agreed
I just found out
about them tonight but I'm gonna tell others about them
My Grandfather's brother, Paul Leverne Bates was the white commander of the 761st. He saw & recognized the extreme injustice and predjudice shown to these brave men in both the military & civilian life. And he fought for their dignity & God given human rights His epic standing up against the discrimination of Jackie Robinson while risking his own rank & status in the Military is legend. Imagine the fully indoctrinated and completely brainwashed army of master race Nazi's seeing these men of far superior stature, morals, mental and physical stamina coming out fighting & placing these master race baffoons in their rightful place, the dustbin of history, Sadly in America a significant faction of these same Nazi minded infidels still exist in our country after 77 years. Why it took over 50 years to honor and recognize their valiant and dedicated service to our country is shameful at best. Native Americans also contributed and sacrificed far more to that war effort than most people realize or know. Again a people oppressed by some master race fanatics for centuries and then volinteering to fight for their oppressors against an even more oppressive empire of evil.
African Americans & Native Americans have my total respect and support in their ongoing fight against this racial ignorance and arrogance.
Wow, an organization created to tell the story of Japanese American experiences created a documentary to honor a little known Black American military.
Consider me subscribed!
My father's old unit .
Incredible! Thank you for sharing.
Great Men

From an old "pale face."
Semper Fidelis!
VERY inspirational! Thank you 🇺🇸
Who ever gave this a thumbs down should be ashamed.
Hey, they are the Alt Right.
These are the people who want to take over the Republican Party….don’t forget that.
My upmost respect to the black Panthers such a shame African American military were so poorly treated, the US at the time never appreciated or respected black servicemen and women.
Posted from Britain 🇬🇧.
So this is the story of Fury, but just the one with Black Soldiers at the center. Interesting. Another piece of Black American history I did not know, until now.
Me also
I just learned about them tonight
Jesus christ 183 days of straight combat at the tip of Pattons spear these guys where the real deal
Over 130000 casualties inflicted. WOW
Heroes
RESPECT!
There should be a movie about the 761st I’m there
Who would give a thumbs down
Shame on you
Call of duty finest hour brought me here didn’t know this was a real tank battalion that was in a game cool
They should have made the Black Panther movie about these guys instead of some comic book fantasy.
Amen
100
Doing both is fine.
Wow they were warriors
My Badass warriors !!! 761 !!!
REUBEN RIVERS ONE BAD ASS AMERICAN!!!
Overcome! Overcome!Overcome! Heroic "The content of their character."
Note: "hostage population"... Versus..."active and passive civil defense are integral to national security [democratic] posture." To mechanize and empower pure/direct demos-kratia within a republic.
Watch.... PBS.... "Half the Sky": "FET"... ( In Part II). And, "Meet John Doe" (Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwick...).. A system that mixes those possibilities, as our secondary manual backup system.
There's a system we're not using, for fixing this.
We got lazy, and forgot about it. How to use it!
As "security apparatus" faded from use, so it went.
Restore the "mustering"... (From a device.).
(Where they managed crucial issues, too.)
Use a neutral objective logistics liaison Matrix NGO.
For comprehensive contingencies-management capabilities.
For neighborhood incident management capabilities.
Since, "active and passive civil defense are integral to national security [democracy] posture."
As our secondary manual backup system.
So, to mirror up against, and manage, a republic.
Hell yes! It makes me wonder from the horrifying tragedy of the descendants of slaves if ultimately America didn't get the cream of Africa The absolute best of the continent.
(Disaster and Emergency Services - Gov.) --- ( Support, Systems, and Services - our loophole Matrix NGO) for comprehensive contingencies-management capabilities... To mechanize and empower democracy.
Build "DES-SSS" for managing our republic?... (Who, What, When, Where, Which, Why, How...)... (Facilities, Equip., "Public servants /employees /personnel /representatives") from behind a Desktop Icon.
It went wrong in Vietnam when most wore dope up
so i looked it up it was a piano piece in a 1941 British film(Dangerous Moonlight) about the nazi invasion of Poland. I Love that!!!!
They would be ashamed of the country right now.
I agree wholeheartedly
These were real men
I'm proud of them
Absolutely...sadly the Nation never cared what they thought. If they did they wouldn't be so unfair to them.
Warsaw Concerto? on the halftrack at 3:19?
Imagine... Nothing to do, but...
... Row, and talk... Row, and talk...!
As, a member of a Greek Fleet Trireme Crew...
Some guy asks, "demos - kratia"...??????
😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
While this is a very unsung heroic Iconic aspect of our past. Equally....there must have been just as many images of American Indians,Jews,Women,Orientals,Gays,Gypsy,Handicap,Animals...on and on. "HISTORY" is intended to be an accurate recording of events to be past on to our ancestors. This overall selective storytelling is a sham to any educational system. Too much too little too late..comes to mind. Here I am almost 80 years old...having to be told about these heroes is a sad statement,indeed. Higher education is a moot point in the scheme of things...Harvard,Yale,MIT...what is the point of a Masters degree...if you are ignorant to the TRUTH??? The recent info on UFO sightings/crashes is so on point...We were never alone in the Universe...How could we be so vain to imagine our own Divinity??? The study of History is a myth at best...we need to come to grips with our own ignorance. Enjoy your channel...Thanks.
Thats too late already
why start with ww2 ? slaves served in colonial militia...revolution [ 5000 ]...war of 1812...civil war earning 18 medals of honor...spainish american war...ww1 with 8 medals of honor..555 crois de guerre [ fr ]...spainish civil war in abe lincoln brigade [ 85 ],yada yada
this is why hollywood has very few ww1 or ww2 movies ,they would have to portray the real heros! hmmmmm!
