History is fun and history is about sharing. On this page you can download sources and files relevant to Black American soldiers during the Second World War. During my research I've come across several documents, which I had digitized, and which are now freely available.
The unit history of the 969th Field Artillery Battalion. The unit history contains encounters, songs, stories and photographs.
The unit history of the 761st Tank Battalion also known as the Black Panthers. The unit history contains stories and images of this unit.
This is a booklet featuring the history of the 514th Quartermaster Group, which serviced Patton's Third Army. In their own words: "This is the story of many of the unsung heroes in this war - it is the story of quartermaster trucks in the third united states army, the trucks that gave mobility to the most mobile army in the world."
A speech given by Helen Douglas in 1946. The speech provides a broad overview of the contributions of Black American soldiers during World War II.
