I am a buff of military history, especially WWII fighting in Europe, & only the Africian American experiences.I know that a Tuskgee(?) Airmen was shot down over Rametilla, Italy & was a POW. Also, I'm aware there was anartist of Africian American descent who was housed in a concentration camp.I believe his nationality was Dutch or something it wasn't American.Furthermore, I got a glimpse of the U.S. Coast Guard protecing North American Shores, the photos were of Black men.Do you have any info on these matters please share it with me.Myat work is 202 633-9360 -- thanks.Carole
