- Summary:
- The powerful story of the first all-Black tank unit to serve in combat in US military history. Under General George Patten's command, the 761st battalion fought heroically throughout WWII and were the furthest east of all US troops in the European theater of war when hostilities ceased in 1945. Their valor went unrecognized for decades until veterans of the battalion and their allies saw to it that they received the honor and recognition they deserved. Executive Produced by Academy Award - winning actor Morgan Freeman, this documentary shines a light on these forgotten heroes as well as the contemporary heroes who helped uncover their story.
