The wisdom in the off-hand in combat comments of the "common" citizen soldier far exceeds the hash cranked out by most scholars of war. Anyone who has ever worn the uniform will recognize the attitudes and scenes, time and place altered.This is a WWII oral history which does not romanticize war or minimize the faults of our own nation. The heroism of these men was extraordinary. The feats of courage described so frankly and brutally were those of realistic men not motivated by propaganda or careerism.One can only wonder how much those racial attitudes persist today, though there is no doubt that what does remain inside our forces has been pushed deeper below the surface. On the other hand, substitute "haji" for "negra" and follow today's soldiers [of any race] around for a few moments to discover that our latent racial bias always finds some way to push back to the surface. Some would no doubt argue that this is part of a necessary process of dehumanizing the enemy to enable our young soldiers to kill. Only 60 years have passed; one wonders if we have really changed our nature so much that we are qualified to "train" the Iraqis and Afghans how to bridge their own ethnic and tribal divides. Go to our Southwest Asian bases today, and watch the long lines of "host country" nationals filing past us every morning and afternoon, not a glance or a word exchanged between us. One of the men in "Patton's Panthers" noted that the only time the black man was sent to the front of anything, bus, train, or battle, was when the white man did not want to be there. Our allies of today cannot help but feel the same way, I suppose. Plenty of bias, both racial and religious, on both sides of today's war, perhaps more than usual. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Belated Recognition *by J***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2013* While much attention has been giving (deservedly) to the Red Tails, the all black American fighter squadron, little is known about the equally heroic efforts of the all black 761st Tank Battalion in WWII. In spite of the strong bias against Negro troops that engendered low expectations from superior officers, these men set out to prove they were as good fighting men as any who wore the uniform of the U.S. Army. They achieved outstanding results---fighting their way from France to Austria, they engaged over 6,000 of the enemy in 183 days of constant combat, through six European countries, capturing 30 towns, and liberating Jews from NAZI death camps. Charles W. Sasser paints vivid pictures with his prose and is particularly deft at portraying the emotions of these brave men in the individual personal accounts that appear throughout the book. It caused me to reflect back on my own experiences with men of different backgrounds in my years of service in the U.S. Army. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/16515221-pattons-panthers-the-african-american-761st-tank-battalion-in-world](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/16515221-pattons-panthers-the-african-american-761st-tank-battalion-in-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
