Revealing the Nazi massacre of black French soldiers
French troops recruited from Africa were targets of Nazi party propaganda in the 1930s, including claims they were the “black horror of the Rhine” during the French Ruhr and Rhineland administration.
Dead German soldiers lie in their trenches which were demolished during the Battle of the Somme, France in July, 1916. July 1, 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the first Battle of the Somme -- one of the bloodiest battles in history which claimed 1,250,000 casualties.(photo credit: REUTERS)BySETH J. FRANTZMAN
