The 332nd Expeditionary Operations Group, its modern name, was in World War II the 332nd Fighter Group, the famed Tusdkeegee Airmen. They were a fighter escort group with the Fifteenth Air Force flying out of Italy, known as the "Red Tails" for the marking on their P-51s. The 99th Pursuit Squadron of the unit had fought since Tunisia in the spring of 1943, the Battle of Pantelleria and the invasion of Siciliy, and as a ground attack unit in the Italian campaign in the spring of 1944 begfore they were tranferred to the "Forgotten Fifteenth" in whichthey served to the end of the war. Their commander was Benjamin O. Davis, who later commanded the 4th fighter Interceptor Wing in Kora and became the Air Force's first black General in the mid 50s.
You also missed the 761st Tank Battalion, the "Black Panthers" who fought with Patton's Third Army from September 1944 to the end of the war, Two of their members were finally awarded the Medal of Honor for their combat bravery in the 1990s. In the fall of 1944 and the fall/winter of 1944-45, they fought without a break for 180 days. They had been formed at Fort Hood in 1942 and were then utilized as the "aggressor unit" for training, until finally in the summer of 1944, Patton's losses were so large they were finally sent over to France.
I'm sure that drunken rapist moron playing at being SecDef and the rest of the MAGA Traitor Scum, are doing their best to wipe the history of all these units from the Pentagon in their pursuit of "lethality" in the battle to restore Jim Crow America (that's what "Make America Great Again" is all about).
White Man’s War? Maybe? Everyone’s War Definitely 👍🏻 Regardless of Race.
