On your comment about WWII, my father's unit, 6th Armored Div had a black transportation unit attached to it. The Germans capatilized on this all the time. There was a German who had an American southern accent who was always on the loud speaker say, "What the hell you boys fighting for, you think you are fighting for freedom, look at the way you are treated in your own country". Another trick the Germans used to do was to leave photograpths of black men making love to white women, with a caption, "Guess what your wives are doing while you are over here", for the white soldiers.

The incidents you speak of are very common knowledge... I believe the Battle of the Bulge saw several such incidents....
