German Women Were Shocked When They Met Black Soldiers For The First Time

May 12th, 1945. Wiesbaden, Germany. 19-year-old Ilse Hartmann expected the worst moment of her life when American trucks arrived. German propaganda had taught her that Black soldiers were "dangerous" But when the 761st Tank Battalion—the Black Panthers—rolled into her town, everything she'd been taught shattered in minutes.

This is the untold story of how German women, indoctrinated for years by propaganda, encountered Black American soldiers for the first time. From the 761st Tank Battalion to the 92nd Infantry Division, these combat veterans showed kindness to civilians who'd been taught to fear them. What happened next challenged everything both sides believed about humanity, race, and the lies we're taught.
