I brought the 761st Black Panther Tank Battalion to life with a FOV M5 Stuart and Figarti figures.

This is a wonderful diorama and tribute to this unit. Does Figarti still produce this set of African American GIs?

Nice display of the 761st tank battalion. I just finished the paperback book on their exploits in France and Germany. Interesting reading. Leadmen

I just read a fantastic book on these fella's. It is called "The 761st Black Panther Tank Battalion in World War ll" "An Illustrated History", by Joe Wilson, Jr. The author's father served in the unit, and the book is loaded with photo's and very revealing text. They should really make a movie about this unit.
