In PBS's "The American Experience," a documentary falsely claimed Black soldiers liberated Buchenwald and Dachau.
After conducting "an intensive examination of Army records Chris Ruddy authoritatively documented that the Black soldiers of the 761st Tank and 183rd Combat Engineers battalions did not free either Buchenwald or Dachau.
Jesse Jackson, the unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988, was a leading campaigner for the infamous film.
Ruddy forced PBS to yank the odious work of racial and religious agitprop from the public airwaves.

Today, on “Astonishing Tales of We Wuzzery” ...
1)Veterans Day - November 1992 on PBS’s “The American Experience,” the faux documentary directed by Bill Miles and Nina Rosenblum falsely claimed Black soldiers liberated Buchenwald and Dachau.
2)Dec. 17, 1992, Jackson,New York City Mayor David Dinkins, and Rep. Charles Rangel, hosted a screening of “Liberators” at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem.
3)Ruddy’s first myth-shattering article, “PBS Documentary Lies About Liberation of Concentration Camps,” was published in The New York Guardian in mid-December 1992.
4)Jackson arranged a screening at Harvard University on Feb. 8, 1993, just three days before public broadcasting finally pulled the plug.
5) Feb. 11, 1993, the indomitable reporting of a small group of conservative journalists in New York City, led by 27-year-old Chris Ruddy, forced PBS to yank the odious work of racial and religious agitprop from the public airwaves.
6) While a Jewish Telegraphic article on Feb. 19, 1993 found Jackson unavailable to comment on this shocking development, his plan for showing “Liberators” to Black and Jewish audiences in 25 other American cities was abruptly cancelled.
7)Chris Ruddy published two more superb investigative articles in March.
Ok people. The racism charge worked back then, not now. These people can’t be shamed. Think the ambush tactics in “60 Minutes” from years back. Do we have the researchers to do this in a timely, mostly effective manner?
All of these types of “documentaries” are just propaganda to serve the purpose of destroying actual history and replacing it with the state’s approved version. 1984 indeed. Or perhaps a modern media socialist version of iconoclasm.
The Brave Rifles (not a black unit) liberated the Death Camp at Ebensee, Austria. My Dad was there commanding a tank. He wouldn’t talk about it and left it out of his written account of his service, but other guys in his outfit told me the horrific story.
The truth is different from an uplifting lie.
This writer had skin in the game. His father was one of the true liberators down to the unit served. Along comes Paul Parks-fake liberator-who happens to be black. He was in a regiment that was 300 miles from Dachau when it was liberated. Later he served as the Michael Dukakis Education Secretary-unexposed. All these people that run for office can now be exposed in record time and the left lies on a grander scale to the point that it doesn’t matter. Still we have to be vigilant to the point where they can no longer get away with the ‘he won didn’t he?’ crap.
This is one of 1000 reasons to hate PBS
I remember this and still use it as a media example.
How was it odious?
How was it agit-prop?
Remember, and I can’t make this up in 2024, the series about black women who found lost mail during WW2? Can’t make this up. How brave they were, stateside, braving paper cuts and cross stares from white supervisors. I mean, it was not the Hürtgen Forest, this was much tougher.
Bottom line is the black contribution in every war before Korea was negligible. Maybe not due to blacks themselves.
I’d have to refer you to the writer.
The US military was segregated until Korea. There was one Black Division in Europe in WW2. It acquitted itself well. IIRC. It had white officers. The Army was only willing to go so far.











Also in WW2 Blacks in the Navy did serve on ships, but as Ships Servicemen: running the galleys, laundry, etc.
We can thank the evil Woodrow Wilson for the segregation that he reinstituted in Federal Service when he was President. He started the socialist policies that Frankie the Limper later built on.
U R funny.
Thx!
Indeed
He mentions Jimmy Carter with the list of WWII veterans but Carter was in college the entire time with a graduation scheduled date of 1947.
Carter signed up for college instead of the military when Pearl was attacked, and in time got into the Naval academy with his 1947 graduation date which the war accelerated to 1946, technically that counts as military service during WWII, but.....
“””””if you attended a United States Service Academy for four years, graduated, and then served five years in the military honorably, those nine years will count toward your federal retirement, even though the four years at the service academy do not count toward time served if accepting a twenty year retirement for military service.”””””
