The 366th Infantry – WWII
DOCUMENTARY: Black’s in WWII
This video is important to me… because the 366th Infantry Division are mentioned in this video. My father (pictured below) fought with the 366th. My father was a “Front Lines Rifleman” with “I” Company of the 366th Infantry. I have a copy of my father’s discharge papers (which can be viewed below), detailing everything he did, what he used to fight with, and the campaigns that he was in during his stent with the 366th. I do hear-by state that the information in this documentary is all TRUE and accurate, much of which I remember being told to me by my father through his own accounts.
I was SHOCKED to find this video which recounts many of the things that where told to be by my father, in his own words, long before this documentary was made.
“Front Lines Riflemen”
Why is this video important? Because what these men did has been systematically removed (and or never included) from American History Books, and never ever included in major motions pictures depicting battle scenes (weather “real” or for dramatically reproduced) of Blacks engagements during WWII. That’s SAD... isn’t it!
Front Lines Rifleman… Assigned to “I” Company of the 366th Infantry.

A “quote” from my father when I asked him how he survived when all those men where being killed all around him. He was quiet for a second, while holding his head down… then he looked up and said: “If you see you about to FALL… take somebody with you!”
“If you see you about to FALL… Take somebody with you!”

More words from my father about the conflict that his Company and Battalion was that; “They demanded that they be allowed to fight”… and “Eisenhower” allowed them to have that opportunity… my father said: “They tried to exterminate us.” They sent us into a zone where they knew we were heavily out-numbered… we lost 1,500 (fifteen hundred) men in the first 5 hours of fighting.
There’s one more thing I need to mention here… it’s the part about the 1,500 men being killed all around him… the way they found themselves in that situation is… the ARMY sent down orders that the RHINE RIVER had to be crossed… and the “white soldiers refused to go“... that task was then assigned to the 366th… and they battled to cross that river… loosing 1,500 men in the process.
I have only one question for all of you out there… with all that we have done for America… and with all that we have had done to us here… why do you hate us so? We have done remarkable things in this country… and also have fought in every conflict this country has had and been involved in throughout the history of the United States. Even in Vietnam… we where always the 1st… to be sent to the FRONT LINES.
And just so you’ll know… this is not a Black & White issue with me… my Great Grandfather (on my father’s side) is a full blooded Irishman. This is not a black and white issue with me… this is a WHITE issue… with y’all.
