Japan Said Black Units Were Cowards – Then Lost 12,000 Troops To Them

#WW2History #WW2 #WorldWar2 #military #WarInsider Japan Said Black Units Were Cowards - Then Lost 12,000 Soldiers To Them 1944: Japanese propaganda called Black American soldiers cowards who'd break under fire. The Imperial Army's racial ideology ranked Black troops at the bottom—inferior fighters who lacked courage. Then the 93rd Infantry Division entered combat in the Pacific. Over 15 months of continuous jungle warfare across Bougainville, Morotai, and the Philippines, the 93rd inflicted over 12,000 Japanese casualties. But their story was buried for 80 years. This is how racist assumptions got Japanese soldiers killed—and how America erased the proof.
