It is great that these men were commemorated. The black-American soldiers sure did their part in WWII.
Ever heard about the 761st Tank Battalion (in Patton's 3rd Army)?
The Germans feared these tankerboys a lot as they sure put up a big fight.
One of them was entitled to a Medal of honor, but because of the "ideology" of the US (a black soldier could not get such a high reward) at that time, he "only" got the DSC.
A real shame really.
The Wereth massacre - and so many more - proved the true identity of Nazism.
I am not saying all soldiers in the Waffen-SS (do not confuse it with Allgemeine SS) were like that, but throughout the Ardennes, they were known for their ruthless and brutal killing of prisoners and civilians.
And then we don't talk about what happened on the Eastern Front.
Too bad that these days, the "extreme right" is putting its ugly head up again.
