Segregation in US-Army during World War 2 and Stalag VII-A Moosburg POW camp (SFP 186)

It appears to be just another day at the US-Army base presenting daily camp life of the soldiers chatting, cooking and washing clothes. Indeed, we can see them trying to create tasty dishes with their field kitchens. As you can see at 1:06, the soldiers seem to like sauerkraut, a very popular food in Germany.

However, if you take a closer look at 1:42, you can get an impression of the strained relationship between black and white soldiers due to apartheid at that time. World War 2 continued racial discrimination against African Americans in the US Military. Still the armed forces were segregated and several units did not even allow blacks to enlist in any ranks or only employed them as cooks or waiters. Finally, in 1948 President Truman ended segregation by signing Executive Order 9981.

Wikipedia: "Stalag VII-A was liberated on 29 April 1945 by Combat Command A of the 14th Armored Division. A German proposal for an armistice was rejected, followed by a short, uneven battle between the American tanks and retreating German soldiers for control of bridges across the Amper and Isar rivers."
