The Wereth 11 Massacre WW2 - Forgotten History 

We appreciate it. Many brave people tried to help. Many died doing it. Thanks for watching.

So you're saying American soldiers went to Germany and hid in a cellar for two months?

@@SuperUAP let me see if I can make this a little more clear for you. I assume your military experience comes from watching movies. They were shot down SEVERAL miles behind enemy lines, had no rations (food), only a basic load of ammo, their individual weapon, and whatever else they could salvage from the glider. There was to way to communicate with their unit and they were reported ss missing in action and presumed dead so nobody looking for them. This was in the middle of Germany's desperate last push to regain western Europe and most German units were killing surrendering soldiers rather than taking prisoners. So, sure you can claim they "hid" for 2 months, but you do know Rambo is a fictional character don't you?

Thank you for telling the story

That’s such a cowardly statement for a soldier. If you can condemn Nazism, why can’t you condemn anti-black racism?

Beautiful comment 😢. I echo your sentiments. ❤

That’s how it should be, always, a man’s character is questioned.. never the race, or nationality, it’s the character, and the cause, we unite to fight for.

@@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide "THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE" where we should exercise one another based on CHARACTER and not our External components. Our collective actions say, we're still highly attached to the minds of our forefathers. We continue to judge one another by the color/shades of our skins. True, there is the occasional angelic person/s but apathy and distrust mostly rule our hearts. I used to purposely visit major universities in America to satisfy my personal experiment. USC/UCLA/Cal/Stanford/Harvard/Yale/Columbia/Dartmouth,, were my test grounds. I would simply walk around campus like the tourist that I was and greet those passing by. Many would just gaze at this Black man with suspicion. One of the funniest/saddest occurred at UCLA as I was walking down a corridor/hallway, a professor walking towards me attempted to switch her purse; which caused the huge bundle of papers she held to disperse everywhere. Never in life did I laugh harder, and NO I wasn't going to help nor hang around and possibly get accused of something. Indifference and pre-judging were routine energies among our nations Brightest. WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR THE REST OF SOCIETY???

I feel the same

Thank you kindly

Well said!

BRAVO! And a central piece of history simply and succinctly told. this is good journalism. no need for superfluous digressions, because the facts in the story speak for themselves.

Agreed, it was tragic.

Agreed

It is sad and inexcusable. I wonder how many more heroes like these men are still not recognized.

@@aprilandrussell If it is only one, it is far too many. Thanks for watching

And the Japanese American soldiers.

Indeed. Thanks for watching.

You know the black GIs were famously despised by the Japanese because they would descend on the villages at night and rape the natives. There are a number of episodes of this. The black soldier is more like Louis Till than anything you’d been lead to believe.

My Great Uncle was captured by the Nazi’s with the 106 Division during BOB he was starved but never spoke of anything else. I’m happy these men are remembered for giving their lives may their souls find peace

They give it to the monkeys

You are Americanizing the contribution of blacks soldiers in WW2. They came from all parts of the global south. After the war, just like in the American civil war, whites forgave each other and continued marginalizing blacks, both within their nations and internationally.

@@Aztec82 they weren’t cooks smh. They were field artillery soldiers. And the malmedy massacre and the wereth 11th massacre happened a month a part. Know your history before you try to correct others.

Same here thanks for posting

Absolutely

I’m from Bessemer Alabama home of George Davis. He worked in the same ore mines as my Grandfather. There’s no mention of George anywhere in his home town. Would like to change that if you all were interested in helping.

Yes thank you so important!!! My father Floyd Dade served with the black 761st Tank Battalion under Gen George Patton.

@@shaunp792 Is that the one that Louis Till was in where he raped all those Italian girls and killed one? Your father and your kind were famous for rape and running when the shots were fired. This hagiography they have you believing is all lies. You know who Louis Till is, right?

That is indeed a shame. I wish I could help, but Bidenomics got me strapped at the moment. Do you have a local museum, historical society, or vfw post nearby that you can talk to, who might be willing to sponsor a plaque or monument of some kind? This is a story that needs to be told, and a man who needs to be honored, especially in his own home town, truly a home grown hero. I’m glad at least someone living there knows of the man’s courage and sacrifice. Do your best to spread the word and don’t be afraid to ask for donations. This is the sort of thing I think people would really get behind, something that could really bring people together, righting past wrongs, and washing out a particularly dark stain on American history. It also occurs to me that black history month might be an especially good time to solicit donations and ask for assistance. I wish you the very best of luck. Thanks for caring.

There is now a monument as of 1990s in that town in Belgium where he and the other ten were killed. It was funded by Belgiums and you can still find it there

May God Rest His Soul and May He Rest in Peace

Thanks for watching.

Sad truth of white America and black service men. Tankers, artillery, airmen, all sorts of ancillary jobs. On just about every Navy vessel sunk during WW2 had black sailors or crew members, Red Ball express. Blacks were in every part of of the American WW2 War effort as in EVERY call to arms🧐

@@Aztec82lol no….two completely different events.

@@Aztec82 what are you even going on about? I don’t care what color their skin was, they were massacred. I care just as much about them, as the malmedy massacre. The difference is this event isn’t very well known, yet I’ve always heard about the malmedy massacre in every historical video I’ve watched. You need help.

@@Aztec82 who is ya’ll? Lol now I’m black because I speak up about it? Good logic.

United States War Crimes (an introduction) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/united_state_war_crimes Enjoy reading excerpts: United States war crimes are the violations of the laws and customs of war which the United States Armed Forces has committed against signatories after the signing of the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. These have included the summary execution of captured enemy combatants, the mistreatment of prisoners during interrogation, the use of torture, and the use of violence against civilians and non-combatants. During and after the Battle of the Bismarck Sea (March 3-5, 1943), U.S. PT boats and Allied aircraft attacked Japanese rescue vessels as well as approximately 1,000 survivors from eight sunken Japanese troop transport ships. Japanese castaways were shot while they tried to swim to the shore or anywhere for safety. This went on all day and the next. The stated justification was that the Japanese personnel were close to their military destination and would be promptly returned to service in the battle. Many of the Allied aircrew accepted the attacks as necessary, while others were sickened. American servicemen in the Pacific War deliberately killed Japanese soldiers who had surrendered, according to Richard Aldrich, a professor of history at the University of Nottingham. Aldrich published a study of diaries kept by United States and Australian soldiers, wherein it was stated that they sometimes massacred prisoners of war. According to John Dower, in "many instances ... Japanese who did become prisoners were killed on the spot or en route to prison compounds."] According to Professor Aldrich, it was common practice for U.S. troops not to take prisoners. His analysis is supported by British historian Niall Ferguson, who also says that, in 1943, "a secret [U.S.] intelligence report noted that only the promise of ice cream and three days leave would ... induce American troops not to kill surrendering Japanese." When prisoners were taken at Guadalcanal, Army interrogator Captain Burden noted that many times POWs were shot during transport because "it was too much bother to take [them] in". U.S. historian James J. Weingartner attributes the very low number of Japanese in U.S. prisoner of war compounds to two important factors, namely (1) a Japanese reluctance to surrender, and (2) a widespread American "conviction that the Japanese were 'animals' or 'subhuman' and unworthy of the normal treatment accorded to prisoners of war. The latter reason is supported by Ferguson, who says that "Allied troops often saw the Japanese in the same way that Germans regarded Russians-as Untermenschen (i.e., "subhuman"). If this isn’t evil and wickedness on behalf of self-righteous Americans, I don’t know what is. American mutilation of Japanese war dead en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_mutilation_of_Japanese_war_dead (excerpts) “During World War II, some members of the United States military mutilated dead Japanese service personnel in the Pacific theater. The mutilation of Japanese service personnel included the taking of body parts as "war souvenirs" and "war trophies". Teeth and skulls were the most commonly taken "trophies", although other body parts were also collected. “The phenomenon of "trophy-taking" was widespread enough that discussion of it featured prominently in magazines and newspapers. Trophy skulls are the most notorious of the souvenirs. Teeth, ears and other such body parts were also taken and were occasionally modified, such as by writing on them or fashioning them into utilities or other artifacts.[9] Eugene Sledge relates a few instances of fellow Marines extracting gold teeth from the Japanese, including one from an enemy soldier who was still alive. “But the Japanese wasn't dead. He had been wounded severely in the back and couldn't move his arms; otherwise he would have resisted to his last breath. The Japanese's mouth glowed with huge gold-crowned teeth, and his captor wanted them. He put the point of his kabar on the base of a tooth and hit the handle with the palm of his hand. Because the Japanese was kicking his feet and thrashing about, the knife point glanced off the tooth and sank deeply into the victim's mouth. The Marine cursed him and with a slash cut his cheeks open to each ear. He put his foot on the sufferer's lower jaw and tried again. Blood poured out of the soldier's mouth. He made a gurgling noise and thrashed wildly. I shouted, "Put the man out of his misery." All I got for an answer was a cussing out. Another Marine ran up, put a bullet in the enemy soldier's brain, and ended his agony. The scavenger grumbled and continued extracting his prizes undisturbed. “Pictures showing the "cooking and scraping" of Japanese heads may have formed part of the large set of Guadalcanal photographs sold to sailors which were circulating on the U.S. West-coast. According to Paul Fussel, pictures showing this type of activity, i.e. boiling human heads, "were taken (and preserved for a lifetime) because the Marines were proud of their success". (Note: The original lengthy article is supported by many sources, also regarding the murder of most Japanese POWS and the raping of thousands of Japanese women by “the greatest generation of thugs and rapists”.)

Well said, I pray this goes into the history text book for students to learn not only history but of what we as a nation must do… Thank you for your service to our country, coming from a long line of fathers and forefathers…

Agreed

Wow, that's amazing. Thanks for sharing and watching.

Thanks for posting

I read your post and I feel honoured that men like you are still observing this memorial. Such a tragic and sad event that led to the death of these 11 US Service men. May they never be forgotten and may others learn of this horrific massacre. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨

We appreciate it thanks.

This is all critical race theory crap...why bring this up? Only Marxists talk about this to divide us

The more things change the more they stay the same! America always reminds US Blacks, where we stand in the scheme of things. Things have gotten a little better, but I always remind my brothers/sisters, sons and daughter, to always keep their guards up. GUARDS UP?? Example, my attorney daughter is heading to Texas to represent her law firm in a Black convention in Austin. Daughter confided in me how she wanted to invite a friend to the event for one day; friend would spend one night with her. Firm frowns on this but colleagues do it all the time remarked my daughter. WE DON'T DEVIATE FROM THE RULES I REMINDED MY DAUGHTER! being scrutinized and expected to stick to the rules it's part of the Black reality. "I guess I'll have to appropriate her lodging for one night" responded daughter. GUARDS UP!!

here in Auckland city ahh jawed with a Italy veteran , and he put me of modern war with what he told me. - he was still haunted by the first german he killed who was desperately trying too save himself from been killed by- captain Ted Patterson- new zealand commandos. Butt the iceing on the cake off his war was trying too kill a Maori warrior who had a army radio pack on his back , - too cunningly intercept all movements off germen Prisoners been bought in unarmed by captain Ted patterson - so he could kill them all with machine guns while they were unarmed. in may 1945 on yugoslavia border. - His weird war was trying too kill that Maori soilder who was responsible for getting not only unarmed Germens killed but Ted's New Zealand soilders also killed when they got in the way off the massarces.- Ted bawled his eyes out when he got back too Wellington city- N.Z. in December 1945. - because his w.w.2 ended up been twisted.

Good post thanks.

Thanks for the post

My uncle and grandfather trained at Ft. Sill.

@@aprilandrussell Excellent, home of artillery

Trudeau government just gave them a standing ovation.

I'm glad to know that. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for listening

Thank you for sharing.

Sounds like your grandfather was an enlightened and intelligent man indeed.

Wow thank you!! I agree with everything you said. Stop seeing my color and putting me in a box!! Why do you have to choose to be black or white when you’re both? My mom has a black mom and Chinese dad who were married in 1940 in San Francisco CA! So my mom and her sister were seen as black. Why can’t they just be girls/women? What was the name of the troops your grandfather trained? Your grandfather sounds like Colonel Paul Bates who commanded the 761st tank battalion! He turned down a promotion to become a General to stay with the 761st to make sure his men were not going to be abused by some Southern whites who thought blacks shouldn’t serve, thought they didn’t have the intellectual capacity to manually calculate the tank cannon to hit targets (no automatic weapons back then), thought they were cowards, etc. Bates knew that was all wrong and lies to keep blacks from battle and to give them only labor and service roles. The “red ball express” the all black truck unit were excellent and extremely important to bring gas, oil, food, water, etc to the tankers and soldiers. They didn’t have weapons and drove large trucks on icy, windy roads to bring tankers supplies to keep them supplied to continue fight, and they did for 183 days! They didn’t get replacements until close to the end of the war, they had 50 percent casualties. The average life of a tank battalion was 10-15 days at most!! The 761st fought 183 days - 6 months on the front line (2-3 miles ahead of the front) for 183 days. They were attached to different divisions that needed them. They didn’t have a single division. My father Floyd Dade said Patton didn’t think they’d survive the first few days in battle so they didn’t have a plan for them when they returned.

Great post and yes that is an almost unforgiveable oversight, recognition was long overdue.

Thanks for watching

Agreed, thanks for watching

There is forgotten history, then there is buried History. Thank you Sir for unearthing this story of unrequited , steadfast commitment to duty and discipline. To give their full measure to a country that hated them.

The fact that all these American heroes were from the Bible Belt and Southern states where racism was the worst at that time speaks to their true patriotism and, love for this country. I'm ashamed as a somewhat historian I have never heard of them. Happy to have a fellow Arkansan among the honored. Respect and, love too these gentleman!

Agree that the lack of recognition by the US Army was indeed heinous, however the Nazis brutally tortured and murdered them. You cannot say that this is even remotely comparable to not being recognized for your military actions.

@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL When I said the attitude of the US Army was "almost" as bad, what I meant was that by treating such a gruesome incident involving their own men with such levity, they weren't much better off, as far as prejudice went, than the Nazis they were fighting.

Thank you for telling their story our American men who fought so bravely should not be forgotten!

Thanks for watching.

That is why warmongers are criminals!!!

Agreed, thanks for posting.

If I'm not mistaken Joachim Peiper had something to do with those killings too. Germans back then were true monsters.

Yet here you are, somehow learning history that was "written out" lol

Since Germany was an allie in the cold war it probably was better not to keep highlighting each and every atrocity.

You are correct. But that is a direct consequence of technology. Type in something and you get all manner of crap back. Back in the 1970s or 1980s, you had to go to a library and run through what was called a "card catalog." Even then, your choices/returns were limited to the books/articles/magazines they had in the place. If someone verbally told you about something or an event, you could start with that, but you could never fan out as much as you can online these days. This history was indeed "written out" in the sense that it required special skills (and some luck) to research it and these not everyone possessed. @@mjanny6330

Thanks for watching.

That's not surprising. Fact is most of America knows very little about black history. The contributions that were made and inventions that were stolen. Most was left out of history books. For the most part, if it has to do with Black History you'll have to find it yourself. There's people in Tulsa Oklahoma that are just finding out about the 1921 race riot. There's a lot out there to learn. Thanks for your insight and drive to know more.

Agreed. Thanks for watching.

There still racism in the armed forces don’t kid yourself

No, not really. Otherwise you would not have had high ranking non-white officers.

The Germans were far more racist. They looked at these black Soilders same as they would the Jews. Not to mention, these guys gave the germans such hell by the time the were captured the SS took their anger out on these unfortunate men.

You bet

I would say the perpetrators. Many do not get recognized for their actions
