What group of WWI infantry unit spent more time in combat than any other American unit? What group of soldiers helped pave the way for future African-American soldiers? What group fought with bravery and honor for their country, although they were not respected by their country? The Harlem Hellfighters! Also nicked named the Black Rattlers and Men of Bronze (named given to them by the French). The nickname “Hell Fighters” was given to them by the Germans due to their toughness and that they never lost a man through capture, lost a trench or a foot of ground to the enemy.
Pvt. Henry Lincoln Johnson earned the nickname "Black Death" for his actions in combat in France.
