No no no. Again the sames mistakes about the 15th New York Infantry! The war memory writing by the commanding officer of the first compagnie of this regiment, Arthure W Little (title: "From Harlem to the Rhine") contradict you in somes points: (making anything about this regiment without read this book is a felony). 1) The no playing band when they leave France is a lie: "Upon the afternoon of january 31 st, I led the troops for our embarkation of that day from Camp Pontanezen to and throught the city of Brest, down to the docks where tenders waited to carry us out to the steamer. We marched in silence. Every man had been warned and every man had taken this warning seriously. We might fave been off upon a mission similar to that of the immortalized "Burial of Sir John Moore": "Not a drum was heard - Not a funeral note." .... As our last tender was ready to shove off, the Chief of Staff of the base who stood talking with me, said "Major, I didn't notice before, but you've got your band with ou, haven't you?" "Yes sir," I answered. "Can they play?" "Yes sir." "Well, why don't you give us a tune as you leave?" "I"m sure it would be very welcome to us, sir;" I answered; " but I'm not taking any chance of losing our sailing place. If you so direct, sir, Il will give the order." "Yes, yes, by all means, let us have some music!" "Mr Europe", I addressed the leader, "you may play!" And so our men, once more with the music that they loved so well stirring their hearts, hade farewell to France. This Chief of Staff was a human being. " 2) The Henry Johnson's rifle had no jam. He had empty his rifle and he had no time to reload his rifle. Same book: "The Labelle rifle [in reality it was a Berthier rifle...] carries a magazine clip of but three cartridges. Johnson fired his three shots - the last on almost muzzle to breast of the Boche bearing down upon him. As the German fell, a comrade jumped over his body, pistol in hand, to avenge his death. There was no time for reloading. Johnson swung his rifle round his head, and brought it down with a thrown blow upon the head of the German. " 3) They had some training before embarking for France, and intensive trainingby the french army between mid march and mid may 1918 or your pleasure, an extract of a letter of Colonnel W Hayward (commandig officer to the 15th infantry New Yorkrenamed 369th us infantry) to colonnel Reginald L Foster, 52nd pioneer infantry: "There are no american troops anywhere near us, that i can find out, and we are "les enfants perdu" and glad of it. Our great american, general simply put the black orphan in a basket, set it on the door step of the French, pulled the bell, and went away. I said this to a french colonnel with an "english spoken here" sign on him, and he said: "weelcome leetle black babbie."

And then, a year after the war ended, we had the Battle of Brewery Gultch in Bisbee, Arizona. The police chief there formed a posse to "disarm all the negroes they could find" which for context was the buffalo soldiers of the 10th Cavalry that were in town to march in the Independence Day parade.

According to W. Allison Sweeney in "History Of The American Negro In The Great World War", the line held by the Harlem Hellfighters was 50km long between Rheims and the Argonne forest until 14 July, 1918, Bastille Day. This comprised 20% of the entirety of the American line. A line held fast by Americans fighting under the French, because their own countrymen refused to serve with them.

@@fudgepacker2858 Except that it actually is the only reason. While it's true Pershing created an independent American force for troop morale, casualty accountability, and to give Pres. Wilson a better position for peace talk negotiations, "...Pershing made an exception for the black soldiers of the 369th, reassigning them to the French on March 10. (Pershing’s attitudes toward black troops were complicated; he served with the all-black 10th Cavalry in 1895, from whence he got his nickname “Black Jack,” but wrote in his 1931 memoir that black soldiers needed more training because of “lower capacity and lack of education.”) Hayward, who had lobbied Pershing to let his troops fight, captured the ironies of the general’s decision in a letter. “A fairy tale has materialized,” wrote Hayward. “We are now a combat unit…. Our great American general simply put the black orphan in a basket, set it on the doorstep of the French, pulled the bell, and went away.” Smithsonian Magazine May 14, 2018 And since Col. Hayward was the 369th's CO, and was there, he probably knows best.

As a Pole I salute brave Harlem Hellfighters, our brothers from overseas - since we've been named "White Negroes of Europe" by the Haitians. The Polish Blue Army in France, made in large part of Polish Americans, fought at the same time as the Hellfighters in 1918, fighting for freedom of Poland. Poles also faced discrimination in the US at that time for being Catholic and "wrong kind of white" & of course facing persecution & antipolonism from Germany & Russia back in Europe.

(Verse 1) In the trenches, a hero's tale unfolds, Henry Johnson, a warrior bold. A soldier in the Great War's darkest hour, His courage and strength, unmatched in power. (Pre-Chorus) Through the fire and smoke, he fought with might, Defending his brothers in the dead of night. With metal in his hand, he stood tall, Ready to answer the enemy's call. (Chorus) Henry Johnson, a warrior of steel, In the heart of battle, his spirit revealed. A legend born in the fires of war, His name forever etched, forever more. (Verse 2) Beneath the moonlit sky, his valor shone, A symbol of bravery, standing alone. Against all odds, he held his ground, With every swing, a victory resound. (Bridge) The clash of swords, the roar of guns, Henry Johnson fought like a thousand sons. Through blood-stained fields, he carved his name, A warrior's legacy, forever aflame. (Chorus) Henry Johnson, a warrior of steel, In the heart of battle, his spirit revealed. A legend born in the fires of war, His name forever etched, forever more. (Guitar Solo) (Verse 3) Though wounds may scar and memories fade, Henry Johnson's legacy will never evade. His sacrifice echoes through time, A testament to bravery, sublime. (Pre-Chorus) Through the fire and smoke, he fought with might, Defending his brothers in the dead of night. With metal in his hand, he stood tall, Ready to answer the enemy's call. (Chorus) Henry Johnson, a warrior of steel, In the heart of battle, his spirit revealed. A legend born in the fires of war, His name forever etched, forever more. (Outro) In the annals of history, his story remains, Henry Johnson, a hero who broke the chains. In metal's embrace, his valor shall soar, Forever remembered, forever more.

Hey I want a gold star! Here's my song for Henry Johnson: (Pre-verse) Late in the nineteenth century. Born to serve the three six nine infantry. Famous for all his bravery. (Verse 1) Sent ashore to the Meuse-Argonne. Three years in and the French were holding on. Henry fought to cover their back. Held in contempt because his skin was black. (Pre-chorus 1) They proved to the world what Hellfighters could do. Six months in hell as they all powered through. (Chorus) Johnson and Roberts back to back. Under fire from sniper attack. Overwhelmed support on its' way. They refused to go down easily. Knives in hand they fight into the night. Held the line until the morning light. (Verse 2) Earning his name as the Black Death. Kept fighting on until his final breath. Whilst being a race so despised. Enduring a world of hatred and lies. (Pre-chorus 2) They proved to the world they were not to be scorned. Six months in hell as they carried the war. (Chorus) Johnson and Roberts back to back. Under fire from sniper attack. Overwhelmed support on its' way. They refused to go down easily. Knives in hand they fight into the night. Held the line until the morning light. (GUITAR SOLO) (Pre-chorus 3) They proved to the world they would not be silenced. They proved their worth with the sound of violence. (Chorus) Johnson and Roberts back to back. Under fire from sniper attack. Overwhelmed support on its' way. They refused to go down easily. Knives in hand they fight into the night. Held the line until the morning light. (Post-verse) June second twenty fifteen. Medal of honour posthumously. To honour his memory.

What makes the story of the Harlem Hellfighters so enduring isn't simply what they endured, and what they are. It was their character and competence. These guys weren't just an all-black regiment. They were also supremely qualified soldiers who proved their mettle on the battlefield. That is what makes their lack of recognition even more of a crime. These guys were heroes, through and through. In fact, this was probably one of the first songs that actually inspired me to go out of my way to learn more about the subject, and I'm honestly glad I did because I wasn't feeling patient enough to wait for the Sabaton History episode. xD

In the eternally long list of things I wish I had the time to dig into more, I find the different treatments of underclass/slave/segregated military units fascinating. You have everything from outright bans on ethnic or religious groups from enlisting, to cases like this where they were relegated to non-combat duty, to instances where they were used as cannon fodder, to rare cases of equal or even elite status. I feel like there has to be some meaningful insight we can gain into the societies that implement these different styles. I think if you asked the average historically illiterate person today, they would expect all such troops to have been considered expendable, but that seems to rarely be the case. I have no real thesis as to why so many different cultures handled the same situation differently, but it's interesting to think about.

Henry Johnson was a hero Fighting for his country in the war He was part of the Harlem Hellfighters A regiment of brave black soldiers They faced racism and discrimination But they never gave up their mission They fought with courage and skill And earned respect and admiration Henry Johnson was wounded in a battle But he kept fighting with his rifle and his bolo He saved his fellow soldier from capture And received the highest honor from France He was a legend and a inspiration A symbol of freedom and determination He was part of the Harlem Hellfighters A regiment of proud black warriors

Waiting to hear Harlem hellfighter since simple history 2017, then read Harlem hellfighter in Graphic Novel 2019, then hear Sabaton on March 2021 when I put the comment asking for music video if possible, and finally this today 2023. . Edit update: Good job Sabaton for making a lot of History of your song and you too Indy

He was named Henry, American as hell, He was told to dig, at best the next well. Upon enlisting in french forces He'd bear the weight of a dozen horses. With grenade and bayonet he'd held the line Twenty to one, no soldier as fine! Chorus

I don't know I'm no military expert but sending untrained soldiers on sentry duty or having them hold 20% of your line with 1% of the soldiers (still untrained) seems like the easiest way to loose a war.

Verse 1: I fought 'neath the Red Triangle banner on the battlefields of France The Harlem Hellfighters they had our backs, nobody had a chance We trampled through the thick of smoke and fire, rushing towards our foes We never took a single step back, 'til the battle was finally over Chorus: The Harlem Hellfighters, they held the line Always emerging victorious, like burning stars in the sky They never wavered, they never backed down The Harlem Hellfighters, the bravest around Verse 2: We flew in the face of true danger, in WWI they shone 'Gainst the welter of shells and the hail of bullets, we marched steady and strong We stood our ground no matter the cost, no whining or bickering We held fast together, we were brothers in arms, the Harlem Hellfighters Chorus: The Harlem Hellfighters, they held the line Always emerging victorious, like burning stars in the sky They never wavered, they never backed down The Harlem Hellfighters, the bravest around Bridge: Standing proud in the face of disbelief and doubt The Harlem Hellfighters didn't back away, kept their courage all throughout No matter the odds we remained strong till the dawn United by courage, we fought on and on Chorus: The Harlem Hellfighters, they held the line Always emerging victorious, like burning stars in the sky They never wavered, they never backed down The Harlem Hellfighters, the bravest around

2:28 The fact that they decided to include the "secret information" in the whole SICBAT thing is quite funny if you ask me. As horrible as racism is sometimes the ignorance involved can come across as funny: Like issuing a formal military document to another nation concerning "secrets" as if black people are not just people with "black" skin and instead some kind of new discovery or mysterious unknown force. Also, there motto was God damn LEEETSSS GOO? LEEETTTSSSSS GOOOOOOO is also what the zoomers say and im pretty sure it was popularized by black culture. See. Thats hillarious too but in a wholesome way. Somethings never change

That was some great history. I knew that Blacks fought with the French, and that they were very brave. I also knew that Black soldiers from America were always brave and honored their family's no matter where they were assigned. I enjoyed working with Blacks in my military career. We were one big happy unit.

Well We can’t rightly call them Dixie because it wasn’t just the southern states. Unfortunately it was a horrible thing that had been going on in New York ,Indiana Maine, and other Northern states as well. Do primarily to Misconcepted race science which was terrible and of course the obvious Ku Klux Klan but lesser known Know nothing party influences which that ideology was still around up that way at that time If I’m not mistaken.
