Описание: Patton’s Black Battalion Was Far Deadlier Than He Admitted — History Hid Their Charge

Imagine standing in a muddy, wind-swept field in Northern France. It is October, nineteen forty-four. The air is damp, chilling you to the bone, but the cold is the least of your worries. You are surrounded by nearly seven hundred other men, all standing at rigid attention next to their thirty-ton Sherman tanks.

Every man in this field is Black.

And standing on top of a half-track vehicle before you, looking down with a scowl etched into his face, is the most feared and famous commander in the European Theater: Lieutenant General George S. Patton.

This was the Seven Hundred Sixty-First Tank Battalion. They had trained for two years in the swamps of Louisiana, enduring humiliation and Jim Crow laws just for the right to die for their country. They called themselves the "Black Panthers." But up until this moment, the United States Army had treated them more like a public relations experiment than a combat unit. Many high-ranking officers in Washington believed that African American soldiers lacked the intelligence to operate complex machinery, or the courage to stand and fight when the shells started falling.
