The 758th Tank Battalion in World War II The US Army’s First All African American Tank Unit is a historical account of the first all-African American tank unit that fought during World War II. The battalion was formed in 1942, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and it consisted of 600 black soldiers who were trained to operate the M4 Sherman tank. The unit saw action in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy before being sent to France in June 19444. Despite facing discrimination and prejudice within their own army and society, the men of the 758th Tank Battalion proved themselves to be brave and capable soldiers, earning the respect of their white comrades and the German enemy. The book explores the challenges faced by these African American soldiers, both on and off the battlefield, and how they overcame them to make significant contributions to the Allied victory. It also highlights the importance of understanding the process of technological evolution and developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the modern technological process as the basis for human survival and unity in a warring state. The plot of the book revolves around the experiences of the 758th Tank Battalion during World War II, focusing on the challenges faced by African American soldiers in the US Army and their bravery in combat. The story begins with the formation of the battalion at Fort Knox, where the soldiers underwent rigorous training to become proficient in operating the M4 Sherman tank. As they prepare to deploy to the front lines, they face discrimination and racism from their white comrades and society, making their journey to Europe a difficult one.
