How many african americans died in world war 1?

Answer 1

Nearly one million.

Answer 2

Combat units were segregated until President Truman changed that policy in 1948-49. (General Mathew Ridgeway also writes in his memoirs that, in practice, not much had really changed on the ground even when he took over from MacArthur during the Korean War.)

You'll find this question has already been addressed several times already -- up above -- in this WWII section of faqfarm.

Other than for publicity stunt purposes, such as with the 'Tuskeegee Airmen,' blacks in WWII were ships' stewards, orderlies for officers, truck drivers, and in rear-area supply units.

Improving On The :Your grasp of the facts appears to stem from a decidedly racist viewpoint, one which ignores truth. Segregation was the name of the game, that much is true, but just as there were some whites who were not expected to be involved in front-line action, there were also some Blacks who found themselves in circumstances that lead to combat. For example, rear echelon units, support units, supply ships, aviation ground crews, etc, were often attacked and had to defend themselves. There were African-Americans (or Colored, as they were known at the time) that fought in various units in all theatres of World War II. Their combat roles/opportunites/experiences were extremely limited, but not entirely non-existant.

General Patton had an Anti-Tank Battlion (see 92d AT Bn) assigned to the 3d Army, and it was an all-Black unit that saw action against the Germans.

On Iwo Jima, Black Marines assigned to Fuel Companies, Graves Registration Units, Supply units, etc were caught up in the fighting when Japanese opposition proved to be more stringent than expected.

Finally, your comment, " . . . publicity stunt . . . " needs to be addressed. The Tuskegee Airmen not only fought the Luftwaffe in the air, they also have the distinction of never having lost a single bomber that they escorted. It's true that they made up only one of hundreds of Allied squadrons, but that doesn't diminish their contribution to the war effort. If you were to assume that to be unimportant, try saying it to the face of any veteran, any surviving family member of someone killed in combet, or any living person who directly owes their life to a Black serviceman who saved them.

These are just a couple of examples, but there are many, many more.
