NOW YOU KNOW The 369th Infantry Regiment best known as The Harlem Hellfighters Nicknamed the Harlem Hellfighters, the 369th Infantry Regiment was composed of African Americans and Puerto Rican Americans raised from the New York Army National Guard serving during World War I and World War II. Before the creation of this regiment, any African American that wanted to fight in the war had to enlist either in the French or Canadian armies. The U.S. entered World War I April 6 1917. Not having enough manpower, President Wilson instituted a draft and African Americans were allowed to enlist. Black men eagerly signed up to fight—leaving behind a rural south of Jim Crow laws, lynching and oppressive economic conditions in hopes of future opportunities. Initially, black soldiers were restricted to non-combat roles such as loading and unloading ships, building roads, cooking, and building warehouses. Military officials believed black soldiers lacked the character needed to serve with dignity and honor but on March 12, 1918, the regiment was assigned to the French army as replacement troops for the duration of the war. Unlike the treatment received from American soldiers, the 369th was treated as equally as the other French units; including desegregated barracks. In battle, the 369th made significant advances amid heavy fighting. German propaganda suggested blacks should fight against discrimination in the U.S. instead of them, but the propaganda had the opposite effect. On September 25,1918, the Hellfighters captured the important village of Sechault, advancing so far ahead of French troops, they risked being cut off. By mid-November, they reached the banks of the Rhine river, the first Allied unit to arrive. The nickname ‘Hellfighters’ was actually coined by the Germans; because of the infantry's toughness, the fact they never lost a trench or foot of ground, or lost a man to the Germans. Only two occasions were men captured, but quickly recovered. The Hellfighters spent 191 days in the trenches and under fire—more time than any other U.S. unit. About 170 soldiers received the Croix de Guerre, France’s highest military honor. The entire unit was honored with a citation. The 369th was also one of the first units in the U.S. to have black officers in addition to all-black enlisted men. By war’s end, over 350,000 African Americans had served on the Western Front.
