Thanks for making us aware of the Harlem Hellfighters - 369th Infantry Regiment COL Lee Flemming Known for their stubbornness and refusal to cede an inch of ground, the 369th soon became one of the most feared and respected Allied units. They were given the nickname “Harlem Hellfighters” by the Germans, and since over 70 percent of the unit called Harlem “home”, the name stuck. Their French allies gave them another nickname: the Men of Bronze. The Harlem Hellfighters would spend 191 consecutive days out on the front lines, the more than any other American regiment during the war.
Kudos to the members of the 369th Infantry Regiment.
Thanks for mentioning me SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
