I need to find some.
Thanks, |

There were no blacks in the wehrmacht or SS...Asians? maybe a 2% shot at that. Remember, Hitler hated jesse Owens owning the olympics in 1936.

I've spent most of my life reading about that era...maybe in the Afrika Korps they had some?(blacks) I've never come across anything that indicates it though.

Any blacks in the Wehrmacht uniform would have been part of the involuntary labor force... which also included French, Russian, Jew, English, American, etc., etc. By the way, a lot of Germans in the Wehrmacht weren't Nazis.

Are you looking for Wehrmacht or SS troops? I would think it would be difficult to find much diversity among the Wehrmacht. You may have better luck with the SS, though.

Hitler felt all races were inferior to the Aryan man, however that didn't stop him from having entire divisions of non Germans including blacks and Asians fight for the Third Reich. I am not going to bother finding pictures, but they are out there and not that hard to find.

No, entire divisions composed of non Germans. These "divisions" were often more like a battalion in size. |

Wasn't Chiang Kai Shek's son an exchange officer in the werhmacht or something?

working hard to prove nazis weren't racist on a sunny sunday morning, eh?

Apparentlyt I clearly have delusions of Hitlers criteria for SS selection. As early as this morning I was watching Hitlers SS on the Military Channel, and they stated that SS were the epitome of Hitler's Aryan race - Blonde haired, blue eyed, must prove German lineage back to 1750, etc.

They pretty much took what they could get. I have never seen any photos of Africans in German uniforms. I am fair from an expert on the subject though. |

Can't, the firewall blocks almost all pictures here. I will take a look when I get off of work.

Never fails...
Anyways, these non Aryan soldiers were probably conscripts, who for the 1st time in their lives, were enjoying regular meals, some medical care and a paycheck. Though these posts are historical in nature, they are irrelevant. Looking at the big picture is the best lesson to avoid repeating the mistakes of our past. In the case of Hitler and his Nazi's, it is the people and entities who funded his war, that makes for interesting reading and valuable intel for the futrue. Hitler like Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill were pawns. The unfortunate part, we the US, and other nations are still being danced around by the same shit stains who funded every major war and skirmish of the last 200 years. Looking the other way, has become SOP for most psuedo patriots here and there. Have a nice day |

Never, ever, rely on the Military Channel or the History Channel for proof-positive factual information. Some of the shit they spout off as facts drives me nuts. |

I seem to recall there was an African tribe that Hitler viewed their lineage race as worthy - maybe I am mistaken, I am not certain.

The SS units typically suffered far higher casualty rates than Wehrmacht units, and inflicted less casualties on the enemy. Some SS units were indeed crack troops, others were nothing more than collections of party cheerleaders and suffered poor leadership and a lack of training, training that was rarely lacking in the Wehrmacht. |

As early as this morning I was watching Hitlers SS on the Military Channel, and they stated that SS were the epitome of Hitler's Aryan race - Blonde haired, blue eyed, must prove German lineage back to 1750, etc. That was true for the SS (including the "regular" Waffen SS). It was not true for the "volunteer" (freiwillinge) units or the "legions". Their unit titles reflected this. The 1st SS Panzergrenadier Division (Liebstandarte) was titled "1. SS-Panzergrenadierdivision "Liebstandarte Adolph Hitler". As in "SS division". The foreign units were "of the SS" as in 30. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (russische Nr. 2) (30th Armed Heavy Infantry Division of the SS (Russian No. 2). Foreign units were often transferred from the Wehrmacht into the Waffen SS (all of them except the remains of the Spanish "Blue Division were by 1944). The French volunteer brigade "Charlemagne" (The LVF or French Volunteer Legion against Bolshevism) was originally the Wehrmacht's 638th Infantry Regiment (Infanterieregiment 638). It saw heavy fighting in the USSR and its remains were amalgamated with the remains of the 8th SS Volunteer Assault Brigade (raised by a former French Foreign Legionnaire) in September 1944 to form the Waffen-Grenadier-Brigade der SS Charlemagne (französische Nr.1). The original Wehrmacht French volunteers were now in the SS. |

Towards the end, you just needed a pulse. The SS, like the US Special Forces, were supposed to be a force multiplier. The SS were meant to be the force that would colonize the conquered territories (the "living space") and were supposed to raise indigenous forces of allied/conquered peoples. While the German SS was all about "purity", the idea was the the SS would raise local SS units. The picture of the Bosnian Muslim SS formation is pretty famous, but much less spoken of - I wonder why? - is the French, Belgian, Russian, and Nordic SS units. The Nazis attempted to exploit anti-colonialist sentiments in the French and British colonies. Hence, the "Free" Arab and "Free" Indian units. |
