The sacrifices of Black People as Soldiers in Military Forces are really recognized by the country they fought for, no memorial in some of the major European Countries, recognizing there bravery, sacrifices and the ultimate prize there life.In certain cases, these Black Soldiers when captured were shot and murdered by the enemy soldiers. One good example is the African American soldiers who were massacred at Werth in Belgium by German Soldiers when they captured the soldiers, not one was left alive, shot to death by there enemy even though they have been captured.
Then there The Slaughter at Camp Van Dom located just outside the sleepy southern town of Center ville Mississippi, where white M.P. s were called in, armed with machine guns. They shot every thing that moved, until nothing did move. When it was over 1200 Black enlisted soldiers were lying dead, they have lined them up and mowed them down all unarmed by white Military Police acting on orders from their superiors.
