The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was a unique U.S. Army unit and it had the distinction of being the only all-African American, all-female unit sent overseas during World War II. After their success in England, the Six Triple Eight moved to France, where they continued their work until the last members of the unit returned to the United States in February 1946. And while the work was taxing and racism was overwhelming… as an all-Black, female battalion, they understood the significance of their presence and displayed exemplary character under pressure.

White army vet. 70-72 here. I can't tell you how important letters and packages from home are to any service man or woman serving overseas or on long naval deployments. My father served in France '44-'45 and very likely received mail handled by the women of the 6888th . Thank you Ladies.

for a GI in europe in ww2, mail form home was not only a morale boost, it was an actual matter of life and death. Mail is Morale, Morale wins battles, Morale becomes victory 6888th saved thousands of GIs by making suere they go their mail and morale needed.

Very proud of the AA women in WW2, fighting the enemy in Europe while fighting racism from their fellow white Americans.....they were the best....but I feel sorry for them that when the war was over they went back home to the low down racism from white America.. I take my hat off for them big time

@sharidavenport5283 Год назад

Thank you very much for writing this. I came here with the intention of writing it myself, as well as offering kudos, but seeing you and one other person had already done so, decided not to sound redundant. That did bug me all the way through this otherwise well done video, though. Having a military background, and having been raised by two generations of educators, that sort of thing, (if it's continuous or repetitive, and not just a one-off,) sets my teeth on edge!😬 It really was a distraction throughout the narration, and sounded more like "cotillion" than "Batallion." The video itself, and the rest of the story and narration was well done, and provided a good bit of information not usually included in any other non-military based telling of their story. The enormous backlogs they faced, caused by previous handling that was much less focused on the requirements of the job, just didn't really come across in the telling of the story, but so much more in the SHOWING of it through the images provided by the photography! My gosh! Over two YEARS of undelivered Mail and parcels all over the European theatre? I can't imagine all the damage that could have been done to the soldier's morale by not getting those messages in a timely manner! Notifications of important family members activities, the birth of children, photographs of their children that were two years older by the time the letters were actually delivered? Letters by wives, girlfriends, sweethearts, sisters, mothers, and so on that could have made all the difference in a soldier's morale!? And the parcels - the food that had become rancid and must have smelled, or been bait for bugs and rodents? What an incredible task - and to have it cleaned up in three months! 👏 Amazing!

After reading the inspiring story of this battalion in the latest #smithsonian magazine. I'm so excited to read that #Tylerperry is making a film about these incredible African American women. So much respect for their service and keeping loved ones connected during a time of war. Such an honor to read about their history

BRAVO ZULU. Thank you for posting this. In my honest opinion! It should be a mandatory public school requirement that ALL Jr. high and high school students but particularly black American ( FBA/ADOS ) students study and learn the history about the SIX TRIPLE EIGHT and about other major contributions black Americans sacrificed who served in World War 2.

@FridaSalgadotravel Год назад

I am sad because I am only learning about this now and wish this was taught to mein grade school. However, I am glad I am aware of the accomplishments now of the 6888th Battalion and will share their story with others. We salute you 6888th Battalion!

Battillion? I think it's pronounced Battalion. It's still of course a magnificent story of a magnificent group of soldiers.

Great clip and story ref their honourable military service and in the context of their time. Also from a historical point of view and an interest in uniforms, great source footage and stills images, thankfully there was e footage and stills captured at the time and hasn't been lost.
