Samuel de Korte

Black American soldiers in World War II: archival footage, untold stories, and myth-busting history. New videos every week.

I'm Samuel de Korte, historian and independent researcher. I've written books on units like the 614th Tank Destroyer Battalion, the Tuskegee Airmen, and the 452nd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion. On this channel, I share rare archival footage, deep-dive histories on Black Americans and racial minorities in WWII, and the stories that most history books leave out.
