• The "Rhineland black bastards" that Hitler railed against in Mein Kampf were among the Black Germans rounded up and brutally exterminated. They were the offspring of German women and African soldiers who remained behind after the French occupation of the Rhineland in World War 1.
• The [Axis’s] SS infantry were given war-time orders to take no "[Black] prisoners alive".
• One thousand French army Senegalese soldiers were used as factory slave labourers and then executed on orders of the owner, a high-ranking [anticommunist].
• Black prisoners of war were murdered. Reports say that on "May 4, 1944, three Americans [of color] were hanged in the public square after being taken from a Budapest jail."
• In Belgium, Dec. 17, 1944, eleven Black Americans were brutally executed at the hands of [Axis] racists. A monument was dedicated to their honour in 1989.

These Black victims of Hitler's Aryan ideology merit more than passing mention in studies of fascism and the massive slaughter of people by [anticommunists] in the 1930s and 1940s. More painstaking research on the forgotten Blacks in the European holocaust remains to be done.

The military shadow of Jim Crow (segregation) is also a part of the Glenn Miller Story. John Hammond[,] an ardent integrationist, talent scout and swing aficionado wrote at the time: "We are fighting Hitler and Hitlerism, and yet we are practising Hitler's own racial theories… every day that we countenance racial discrimination we are affronting our own partners". A damning commentary on the racial paradoxes of 'conscripted jazz'.
