I believe McNair was the highest ranking American officer killed in action in WWII. Bombing creep back from the heavy bombers opening Bradley’s Cobra offensive to break out of Normandy killed him and many other Americans.
Yes. It had the benefit of allowing further development of battlefield tanks capable of fighting other tanks - McNair had been a believer that the job of a tank was to support the infantry.
I wonder if the Black Panther civil rights group identified with the Black Panther battalion of World War 2. Maybe that is another fine mess for you, TC.
Well, it should be to the “new” Black Panthers movement at least. Well, on second thought, I’m going to find an original t-shirt and spread the word of this story. I am very moved by your non-fiction. It always ends up as the best story.
One comment. Any time I have seen a picture of Woodrow Wilson, I secretly have thought that he looked like a schoolmaster ready to paddle any recalcitrant student. History books teach one about his accomplishments, the League of Nations, women’s right to vote, some of the progressive financial reforms. But, honestly, I had a weird vibe about him. I certainly believe now he would not have supported Critical Race Theory since he helped to foster systemic racism on which the theory was developed!
Actually, Wilson had zip to do with the Nineteenth Amendment - all an amendment needs is approval in House and Senate, then sent out to states for ratification. The Federal Reserve did get created during his term, another idea that had been kicking around a long time. His vision of the League of Nations had the (white) Anglo-European nations "guiding" the rest of the world. He was born in 1856 and raised a confirmed Confederate and believer in "the lost cause." So your vibe about him is exactly right.

I like the size of your megaphone, TC.
Riveting, TC. An interesting corollary to The Harlem Hellfighters.

Probably not. I knew some of those original 60s Panthers and at the time the 761st was not a well-known topic.
