While yes it is TECHNICALLY historically correct in Germany and ESPECIALLY America (Harlem Hellfighters) case. > > > We all know the most played class is scout. So for Germany that means you have a full team of Colonial African German soldiers. Being black myself, hey that’s great you added Colonial soldiers, I didn’t know they were in WW1…but uh…Id kinda like my scout to be an actual German not a colonial soldier… > > > > > > All the reasons why some types of soldier customization needs to be added. (Plus that looking helmet some supports wear). If we won’t get that, can you atleast make two skins for them, one Caucasian and one African, and have the soldier randomized whenever you spawn into a game or go to the squad menu > > > > Colonial African German soldiers fought in the war, but mostly in the Colonies. There are couple pictures of black German soldiers on the western front, but those were rare. Funny thing about the Hellfighters was that they didn’t fight under American command, but under French. American soldiers didn’t want to fight with blacks so the US gave Hellfighters to the French. So to make the game historically accurate you would have all white team USA and then have some black soldiers in the French army. > > Exactly this! and the best thing about it was the French gave the hell fighters the highest honors France could give for there fighting and bravery! France held blacks in high regard and treated them much better than most countries. ---

> [@Freereports](#): > > I do find it weird that BF1 depicts white and black American soldiers fighting side by side. It’s even more jarring when you see them posing in “cool” stances together in the squad menu. I doubt either race were feeling any sense of fraternity towards each other at the time. War has a way of changing ideas and bringing people together. I’m not saying this happened in WW1 as I don’t know of any instance of Black and White Americans fighting together in the war. ---

Soldier customisation is needed in this game. Sick of being forced into EA’s forced racial diversity. I want to choose my skin colour. ---

Personal opinion on this, I would suggest some users to dig and read some information about WW1 before posting nonsense. Thread closed. Do not recreate this thread again. [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/black-soldier-in-german-troops/102616.md?page=1)
