Germans Laughed at Black Troops — Until the 92nd Infantry Broke the Gothic Line
#WW2History #WW2 #WorldWar2 #militaryhistory #WarInsider Germans Laughed at Black Troops — Until the 92nd Infantry Broke the Gothic Line The 92nd Infantry Division—the Buffalo Soldiers—faced an impossible mission: break through Germany's Gothic Line while fighting racism in their own army. German propaganda called them inferior. German commanders expected easy victory. Instead, these soldiers climbed ice-covered mountains under machine gun fire, fought through counterattacks that would break other units, and shattered the most formidable defensive line in Italy.
