US soldiers who fought in World War II have commonly been depicted as honorable citizen warriors from the "Greatest Generation." But a new book uncovers the dark side of some GIs in liberated France, where robbing, raping and whoring were rife.
"However, the soldiers who were convicted were almost exclusively African-American, some of them apparently on the basis of false accusations, because racism was also deeply entrenched in French society."
Or maybe because blacks are statistically far more likely to commit rapes than Whites?
It was the black French soldiers that Hitler warned of who were raping Germans in the land lost to the treaty. Seems that regardless of they were from Africa or America, their temperament is the same.
The French lived relative peace under German occupation. The Germans took great care to preserve French culture, art, and architecture. The non-jew civilians were left alone and treated as equals, most of whom wanted nothing to do with the “war”.
Then the “allies” came in and bombed the French to rubble to “liberate” them, killing 350 thousand civilians. And the French still welcomed the Americans with parades and cheers, only to have their women raped. Today, as their streets are overrun with dark foreigners from Africa, they still look back on this “liberation” as a great moment. How dumb can you be?
The Americans also bombed the labor camps and their supply lines to smithereens, being the primary cause of starvation in the camps. Then when those labor (not death) camps were "liberated," they blamed it all on the Germans, many commanders of which were terminally frustrated with the situation.
Yes. According to the late US historian Howard Zinn, a WWII bombardier, (despite his many faults) many more French civilians died by US bombing than were killed by Germans. Read it years ago - his writing, can't remember in what (book's here somewhere).

The old saying goes, you can take them out of Africa but you can't take the Africa out of them
