In this episode, we hear the incredible story of the 761st Tank Battalion, also known as the Black Panthers, who fought their way through Nazi occupied Europe in WWII. As an all-black tank battalion, they were keen to prove their abilities through combat for the benefit of all like them across the United States. For the Black Panthers, it was a fight not only against the powerful enemy abroad, but a racist system at home.
