Job Maseko served with the Allies against the Nazis in North Africa but earned less than white troops who racially abused him and he was denied the Victoria Cross medal - something campaigners today slam as an 'injustice'Source: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/forgotten-black-world-war-2-23878530

i have read his story, unfortunately he and other negros that fought for the allies during the great wars were never properly appreciated with medals for their heroic exploits in defeating the nazis for a fact, black americans soldiers were so segregated that they never allowed negros to join active combat and issued weapons until the war was almost over there were full battalions and division which comprises negros only, there jobs were not frontline duties, nut auxlliary and other menial jobs like drivers, cooks, etc |

If there is an afterlife, I won't mind sitting to have beers with my granddad who fought in this war. As at when I was wise enough to understand combat, he was old and spoke a deeper variety of my native tongue. Communication was too arduous to bother with. I'm sure an afterlife will consist of him being friends with the enemies he battled and the allies he stood with. |

Most of them who weren't Americans were discriminated against, such as this red Indian named Ira Hayes. He was among the American soldiers who conquered Iwo Jima in the Battle of Iwo Jima, and planted American flag. He was forgotten and died of too much booze after d war cos of frustration 1 Like

Viknat:the battle of Iwo Jima was a significant battle for the Americans, so many native Americans and blacks also served in world war 2 but were not recognised, like navaho code talkers who were very active in the battle of Saipan and Okinawa. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Most of them weren't celebrated. They were discriminated against during and after the war but this brave and daring Sierra Leonean who was a RAF fighter pilot was celebrated and even received Order of the British Empire. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
