Global Scale Modeller

I was just giving my own opinion based on what I know of photography and my own countries policy at the time on segregation in the US army. There is tons of information available on black army units as they were brought in to do everything towards the end of the war. They weren't however usually mixed with any other races other than their COs. So to say something like "that guy looks black, and that guy looks Hispanic therefore this is a mixed unit" suggests a fundamental misunderstanding of American policy.

Even Fury and Band of Brothers show Mexicans and various other ethnic groups serving in normal front line units. Blacks on the other hand due to America being segregated would never be in a unit with Asian guys.

But that is just a symptom of the problem that brought me here. And I do apologize for being blunt about this. But declaring you have figured out something based on just about no concrete evidence is just careless. If you have discovered new evidence about a photograph then share that evidence, it could change modern understanding of history. But if you just think something looks a certain way then just do whatever it is you're going to do. Don't claim to have knowledge without evidence to back it up.
