reminder that when they liberated Paris De Gaulle decided that the actual French colonial troops that had beaten the Nazis weren't white enough and swapped them out for members of the French Resistance and other predominantly white formations for the propoganda reels.
Not for nothing but that's also the reason why the US action in Italy doesn't get nearly as much play as the action in France and elsewhere - because they'd have to show the black and Japanese-American units if they made a movie about that part of the war.
I’m basing this entirely on vibes, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there was some pressure from the US military to whitewash the French liberating forces. Not to give De Gaulle a pass, but it’s a move that’s got “Amerikkka” written all over it.
