9. There were some black combat units in Europe but that was the exception
It is more likely that he was a member of a support unit. Most US truck drivers in Europe were black and although technically they weren't considered "combat" troops they got shot at a lot and did their fair share of dieing.

I used to work for a black women in Atlanta Georgia USA. She was on vacation in Northern USSR one winter and some of the locals walked up to her and rubbed her face to see if the color would wear off. Apparently the town wasn't very diverse. She took it well.


PS: You were a babe!
