Heaps

t. Battlefield 1 player

Very small handful, maybe 200-300. More auxiliaries used as laborers by the Afrikakorps It's mainly a /pol/ meme

How many of them were actually on the battlefield and not just medics or cooks?

>>3142011
I don't know how many blacks, but there were about 3,000 Arab volunteers from North Africa

Probably very few, most non European who fought for Germany in ww2 were groups like Indians and Azeris who hated their masters and saw German victory as a path to independence and also some Chinese.
Pic related are Azeri Wehrmacht

Under 500. They mostly came from muslim/african countrys that they recruited from.


As the war progressed the Germans got more lax in who joined in the military. (Look at the SS divisions, they became more lax, turning into foreign divisions essentially). The other other major country of people that were not German in the German military were Spaniards. Otherwise, they were in an SS division.

aux. doesnt mean trail for sure, they were usually on local occupation duty, guarding objects, patroling, keeping peace behind frontlines, reserve troops

How did the Spainish divisions do? I heard Stalin was tempted to declare war on Spain because so many were popping up

All of them.

Daily reminder that the horrors of Nazism would have been impossible without black soldiers.

At least half of every army. Except for the Ottomans, they were all white.
