| Video Discription | HORRIBLE Nazi Torture & Killing of Black People - Nazi Germany - Holocaust - Afro-American Soldiers.After the end of the World War 1, the Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh penalties on the Germans including the loss of 13% of its prewar territories, extensive reparation payments and the demilitarization of the Rhineland in western Germany which, following World War I, was occupied by the victorious Allies. The use of French colonial troops, some of whom were Black, in these occupation forces heightened anti-Black racism in Germany. Racist propaganda against Black soldiers falsely depicted them as rapists of German women and carriers of venereal and other diseases. The German press derogatorily referred to the children of Black soldiers and German women as the “Rhineland Bastards.” The Nazis viewed Afro-Germans—children with one African parent and one German parent—as a threat to the purity of the Germanic race. After the Nazis came to power in January 1933, Germany was no longer safe or appealing for African Americans. The Nazi German regime was explicitly racist, which included a wholesale rejection of African American culture, such as jazz and swing music that were increasingly popular at the time. During the Nazi regime, Afro-Germans were marginalized in German society, isolated socially and economically, and not allowed to attend university. Racial discrimination prohibited them from seeking most jobs. In addition to being persecuted for their race, Afro-Germans were persecuted for other reasons as well . Such was a case of Hilarius Gilges. Because of his radical politics, he was arrested in 1931 and sentenced to one year in prison. After his release in 1932 he continued as an active communist agitator. In June 1933, he was arrested and on the following day, his body was found under a bridge By the end of 1937, the Gestapo had secretly rounded up and forcibly sterilized many Afro-Germans. Some were subjected to medical experiments; others mysteriously “disappeared.” Children were no exception. The Nazis forcibly sterilized a group of Afro-German children whom they derogatorily called “the Rhineland Bastards.” Most of these children were the progeny of French colonial troops from Africa that were stationed in the Rhineland region after World War I. During the Second World War, many American citizens, including some African Americans, were interned throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe as enemy aliens. Such was a case of Josef Nassy - a Black expatriate portrait artist of Jewish descent who held a US passport. He was imprisoned in the Laufen internment camp and its subcamp, Tittmoning, both located in Upper Bavaria. Another of Tittmoning’s prisoners was an African American horn and piano player Freddy Johnson. By the mid-1930s Nazi authorities banned all foreign, non-Aryan music in Germany including jazz which Nazi ideology deemed to be immoral. However, the campaign to rid the country of jazz did not stop American artists, such as Johnson, from going abroad to share their art. In December 1941, he was arrested in German-occupied Amsterdam and interned at the Tittmoning prisoner-of-war camp. Those Black people who fought in World War II against Nazi Germany as members of the Allied militaries and were caught and held as prisoners of war fared far worse than those in civilian internment camps. Black prisoners of war faced imprisonment and mistreatment at the hands of the German military, who did not uphold the regulations imposed by the Geneva Conventions. Black soldiers of the American, French, and British armies were worked to death on construction projects or died as a result of mistreatment in concentration or prisoner-of-war camps. Others were never incarcerated, but were instead immediately killed by the SS or Gestapo. Despite segregation in the military at the time, more than one million African Americans served in the US Armed Forces during World War II. Such was a case of Benjamin O. Davis Jr. Some African American members of the US armed forces were liberators and witnesses to Nazi atrocities. One such witness of the Nazi atrocities was Leon Bass, an African-American soldier, who in April 1945 was among the American troops who liberated Buchenwald concentration camp. Racial segregation in the United States Armed Forces officially ended only in 1948.
