Description
Just the Facts: WWII offers fresh insight into the events and decisions that altered the course of history and changed life in America. Set against the backdrop of major battles of World War II, Minority Units – Profiles of Courage and Sacrifice explores the roles, contributions, and sacrifices of minority units in America’s armed forces. The units featured include the Tuskegee Airmen, the 92nd Infantry, the Red Ball Express, the 442nd Combat Division (Nisei Unit), the100th Battalion (Pineapple Unit), the Navajo Code Talkers, and the African-American Women Postal Unit. The video also spotlights Dorie Miller, African-American naval hero of Pearl Harbor, and American Indian Ira Hayes, U.S. Marine flag raiser at Iwo Jima. The military campaigns include D-Day, the air war in Europe, North Africa, the Italian Campaign, and Iwo Jima. Despite enduring racial tension and discrimination at home and on the battlefield, these proud Americans continued to serve their country and left behind a legacy of patriotism and valor.
