The Harlem Hellfighters
This magnificent photo was taken when some of the soldiers received the French Croix de Guerre they are wearing for their bravery. The regiment served under French command during the war because of racial segregation in the US army.
"The French called them the 'Men of Bronze' out of respect, and the Germans called them the 'Harlem Hellfighters' out of fear,"
Thank you for all you've done.
