Black Africans fought for Hitler's Nazi regime

[Big Daddy]

Would appreciate the opinions on this from our more historically educated brehs mainly how true is all of this, and to what extent/context did they "fight for Hitler"?

Nazi propaganda photo depicts friendship between an "Aryan" and a black woman.
The caption states: "The result! A loss of racial pride." Germany, prewar.

They were usually from the former German colonies lost in WWI, Mulatos or Afro-Arabs

In the first video and 2nd-5th pictures, these guys are actually from the Free Arab Legion (Free Arabian Legion - Wikipedia)

During WW1 French colonial soldiers (Afrikan men) had children with German women who took em back to Europe after the war ended (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhineland_b*stard)

In Nazi Germany there were groups that tried to regain influence in Cameroon, Guinea, etc (Reichskolonialbund - Wikipedia)

All Euros were using their colonies. Brits used Indians, Carribeans, French used W Africans and German most likely used Namibians etc. Eritrea was an Italian colony that's why you see that picture. They also had a Libyan legion.

So you had absurd arrangements of Africans under Brits going against Africans under Italians

What's worse is that some of the Black diaspora in Europe cry for the recognition of these soldiers

Why not? Some Black Americans fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. Whether they fought for Germany or England/France or the USA in WWII or the North or the South in the American Civil War; they were fighting to help White people stay in power.

Sorry my historically illiterate brethren, but most of what you know of that, or any war, is completely contorted propoganda...

Over the years, people in many different countries have wrestled with the "Jewish question": that is, what is the proper role of Jews in non-Jewish society? During the 1930s, Jewish Zionists and German National Socialists shared similar views on how to deal with this perplexing issue. They agreed that Jews and Germans were distinctly different nationalities, and that Jews did not belong in Germany. Jews living in the Reich were therefore to be regarded not as "Germans of the Jewish faith," but rather as members of a separate national community. Zionism (Jewish nationalism) also implied an obligation by Zionist Jews to resettle in Palestine, the "Jewish homeland." They could hardly regard themselves as sincere Zionists and simultaneously claim equal rights in Germany or any other "foreign" country.

National socialism + Zionist = ?

There was an entire legion of Indian POWs who defected to fight for the Nazis too. shyt wasn't that hard they come at you promising that if you change sides, a) they'll let you out of the POW death camps, b) you get your country back to yourself instead of being ruled by Britain.

So for your average colonial prisoner who probably isn't too hot on dying in a POW camp fighting for his imperialist master, that's an attractive offer. You get a way out of the hellish conditions you're living in and you get to fight for the promise of a free country after the war. Cac soldiers fighting for their own countries would have been too patriotic to change sides even if it was offered as a way out of the POW camps, but colonials wouldn't have had anything like the same loyalty.

Thank you everyone for your enlightenment, information, and correction of false information

Not surprising. If someone approaches a slave and tells him if he fights with him against their common enemy that he will give him back his freedom and his country, 10 times out of 10, they will fight.
