“Come Out Fighting: The 761st” is a 2002 documentary directed by award winning filmmaker Fern Levitt.
This story of the 761st tank battalion in World War II recalls the segregation of U.S. armed forces and the determination of this first black armoured battalion to show its worth, both in the Battle of the Bulge and in General George Patton’s dash into Germany and Austria. Some veterans helped form the backbone of the postwar U.S. civil rights movement. Also featuring Canadan Holocaust survivor Max Eisen who was liberated by members of the 761st (Made for History Channel’s "Turning Points of History".) |
