More than a million African-American men served in segregated units of the U.S. military during World War II. While most were relegated to Army support units, the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion served in combat in France and took part in the Battle of the Bulge, the last major German offensive of the war, in December 1944. Eleven members of the battalion were captured by Nazi SS, tortured and massacred in the small Belgian village of Wereth. The Army covered up the atrocity; it did not become known until 50 years after it occurred. There is now a memorial in the village to the Wereth 11. Today’s guest is Denise George, co-author with Robert Child, of "The Lost Eleven: The Forgotten Story of Black American Soldiers Brutally Massacred in World War II."Links:http://www.wereth.org/en/historyhttp://www.historynet.com/the-wereth-11-a-little-known-massacre-during-the-battle-of-the-bulge.htmhttp://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/531793/the-lost-eleven-by-denise-george-and-robert-child/9781101987391/
