It’s the 10th of November 1944, near Morville-les-Vic, Normandy. The 761st Tank Battalion of the US Army is about to face serious action for the first time, against a reinforced German division. The 761st are known as the Black Panthers as they are composed entirely of Black American soldiers and NCOs. One of the men whose bravery stands out in the coming battles is 21-year old Sergeant Warren Gamaliel Harding Crecy - or ‘Harding’ to his friends. Ultimately this man's extreme bravery and grit in the face of danger resulted in him being recommended for the Medal of Honor.

It can still use some work tho
Marvel: "black panther is the best black warrior out there."
Sgt Crecy: "hold my beer."
you could of said : hold my machine gun xD
HOLD MY TANK
Hold my typewriter.
Hold my comrade
Hold my gun
“He can’t shoot shit!”
That’s why he is in the *stormtrooper battalion*

First thing i see
Lol
If Sturmtruppen existed in WW2
Thanks all for the praise lol
Marvel: We have Ironman!
US Army: No you don't.
Iron Man with machinegun
machine gun man
Boom boom boom boom boom boom
Germans: We are God's
Harding's men: We have an Ironman
How the hell did he NOT get a Medal of Honor. They man showed bravery and strength to the fullest.
Think about the time period, that will answer your question.
Yeah just because of a factor known as “skin color” hell I bet there’s more back Americans that can lead better than most NCOs
you guys are semi right. There were African, Hispanic, Asian and Native Americans who were all put up for medals of honor. Some got them. Some didn't, at least not until much later. Yes it's a shame, but there's something else.
The same went with Irish, Jewish, Italian and German Americans. Basically everyone. In total, over 16 million people in the US alone served in WWII. over a million became casualties. 400,000+ dead and another 600,000 wounded.
And yet there are less than 500 medals of honor dished out for actions in WWII. Including those done well after the war.
The reason isn't as simple as it sounds. when the medal was initially devised and handed out during the civil war, it was kinda just handed out 'because'. But as it went on, the medal became less and less about actual grit and heroism, and more about politics and 'optics'. That right there is the reason why 'Chesty' Puller of the Marine corps had 5 Navy crosses and not a single medal of honor. Most of those actions were put up for medal of honors, but he was deemed 'bad for publicity'.
as the US's wars progressed, more and more medals of honor were only given out posthumously. As dead guys can be vetted easier and can't really do anything to mess up publicity afterwards. It's unfortunate that I have to say this, but alot of the MoH's given after Vietnam were for pomp and show, and the majority of the people and actions that deserved said medal, would never and will never get one.
There are alot of rules revolving around the MoH and unfortunately one is that it's "impossible" to upgrade from a 'lesser' medal to the MoH for the same action. This rule is often times the one they give us about why certain military personnel can no longer receive the MoH. But it's also disregarded when a politician wants to lay a political smokescreen and earn some 'street cred' among the veteran and military communities.
TLDR: There are a lot of good stories deserving of MoH's but because of it's more political implications since after the early 1900s, our best way of honoring these stories is keeping them alive by talking about the people behind the stories. Like Yarnhub does. They've done more for the heroes of past wars and conflicts, than any politician ever has.
Time period, a shame really, but a Silver Star is nice too
Could've pumped it up for DSC though
We know he deserved it. As Major Plothole points out it is political... like too much else. Thanks Yarnhub for telling their stories. It's important to remember.
I absolutely LOVE the way people would talk back then! The way they would throw witty comments back and fourth. I kinda wish we still spoke like that...
We still do. You just have to find this type of people but is very rare.
"Jesus Christ, Sarge!"
Sarge: "Keep that thought"
Soldiers-do
In some places if you just talked with your wits you'd get beaten up.
@@JIKwood Sureee
Imagine being so badass that you become a one with the machinegun.
lol that guy is a Mad Lad!
Imagine having to be dragged off the machine gun;
i am heavy weapons guy and this... is my weapon
Imagine a soldier said this to him:"ok, that's enough machinegun fun for you mister"
@@da_plasma_catto1801 but i must use it to kill cowards
He is the real iron man,there should be a movie about him.
Stalin? of course!
True there should be a movie about him.
@@jaeger7693 No dude Stalin is the Man of Steel not Iron lol.
War machine, take it or leave it
There should be, but Hollywood can't make a movie with a non white protagonist without adding all the camps.of representation, so expect Einsenhower to a Mexican lesbian
To whom it my concern,
Why would you dislike the video if you haven’t even seen it that’s not very nice to a team of people who work there butts off so we can watch this
they are australians, they don't know its flipped
Agreed.
Yeah
There will always no life trolls thats why.
Those dislikers can’t shoot sh*t. Their sergeats need to shoot him back for retraining!
He's not just an Iron Man or a Black Panther.
The dude's a War Machine.
;)
0_0 I did not expect you to be here
And it's videos like this one that make me proud as a black man to have served in the Marine. Dispit a country who still treated those men as second class citizens, they still fought and gave their lives for this country in the hopes we could one day be better.
its ALOT better now though wouldn't you agree ?
Thank you for your service.
@@buchan448 why would you ask that question? I’m curious.
@@CARBONHAWK1 It is alot better now. Most definitely America has come along way and imo we've almost reached as good as it's ever going to get.
@@CARBONHAWK1 Stop playing victim you sucka.
Scotty’s Massage: “it's ok, man. I’ll be back soon.”
Me: why must you hurt me in this way?
It literally hurt my heart.
It feels like an insult to Sgt. Crecy's name, to have gone above and beyond the call of duty time and time again, only to be denied the Medal of Honor. A total badass, and a loyal and courageous soldier until the end.
Hear-Here!!
Yes they always Come Out Fighting. And they were the spearhead of the 3rd armored division during the Battle of the Bulge.
_Having a flashback of me getting pined down in my M3 Stuart in War Thunder_
Oh no
Wait you get pinned down?

@@Commander_35 Ah i usually just get Penned and dead

What I love about this channel other than their animations, is the fact that they’ll cover the stories of soldiers and events that most people may not have heard of as well as people and events that are well known. Keep up the great work!
The real black panthers
Except they weren’t fighting for communism.
@@TexasTeaHTX Cringe man.
@@TexasTeaHTX ya right, they were fighting two battles. one against the the nazi germens, the other against racist white americans.
@Warren Goss wtf are you on about dolt.
@Warren Goss 🤡
There is no other reasonable explanation for this dude to not get a medal of honour than racism. Racism is a scourge on humanity wich must be wiped out. This dude is a legend
When he was 12, he got cleaned up, bought some flowers and ice cream, and told the mother of his future wife that he would marry her when she turned 18. Nine years later, he did.
He was awarded a battlefield commission as a second lieutenant in May 1945. Several years later, in the Korean War, his tank was struck by a missile, gravely injuring him. He was awarded a Bronze Star and had gotten several Purple Hearts. He medically retired from the Army as Major. Total hero.
Shame he didn't get the Medal of Honor
The 761st Tank Battalion was one of the most effective tank batallions in WWII and their service is so underrated
Hear-Here!!
Harding Crecy and his battalion are one of the absolute chads of the war. This was quite an impressive story.
Should not have been Silver Star. It should be the Medal of Honor.
Medal of Honor is not that easy to earn as it is the highest medals you'll get
@@dirtblock1383 No kidding.
@@dirtblock1383 This man definitely deserved his Medel of Honor. He just didn't receive it because of the racism and segregation that existed in the US Army back in the day.
@@dirtblock1383 you are correct. But I've seen white guys get the medal of honor for less (not saying they didn't deserve it, just that these exploits seem to be in that ballpark)
Completely agree. What an absolute warrior, exemplifies everything the Medal of Honor is awarded for. Lots of guys like him were passed up all the way through the Vietnam War because of his color. Even back then almost everyone thought that was wrong. Many soldiers owed their lives to those guys, that fact was not lost on many people.
This guy is Black Panther, Iron Man, has power of Captain America without serum injection, and the same color like Nick Fury
Maybe he is the real inspiration for the Avenger
I've never seen someone more deserving of the medal of honour.
I can't resist but to say
WAKANDA FOREVER
FU-

The Army's version of the Taskegee Airmen. God bless them all!
Patton’s finest
Not that he would say that though. He was a racist
I’m about to like but it’s at 69.😅
This is not a mere man. This is a war machine.

@@lamquangnguyen2758 sad moment 😔
Just in time for Juneteenth. Sgt. Crecy did not screw around, and fought like hell for six months straight. Huge amounts of respect for one of the many, many unsung heroes of the Second World War.

The story told by this video makes me think of a similar unit called The Harlem hellfighters but with tanks.
They fight like devils who are named Hellfighters from harlem.
Morville-les-Vic isn't in Normandy, it's in the Lorraine region of eastern France. Fighting in Normandy had ended before the 761st arrived in Europe.
You guys really went from 0 to 1000 over night, all I can say is that yall deserve it more then anyone
I love how you guys are so interactive in your comments section.
5:43 I absolutely love the transition
These are just beautiful man, it’s hard to believe how the animations have got better and more detailed over time! Bloody well done mate!
Talks about tanks
World of tanks: let me introduce myself
The expression are incredible specially in "This boy can't shoot shit"
I say it with every video. The animation has gotten better once again.
He didn't just survive the cruel American racism, but also war in the midst of it! Hats off to such people who despite being discriminated against, give their heart and soul for humanity.
Sad to see what has happened to the equal rights movement
4:00 when the enemy realizes you can’t snipe good
Yarnhub: posts comment 2:30 HOURS BEFORE THE VIDEO
BLACK MAGIC CONFIRMED
how 2 dislike before 2 hours in premieres who was that genius
2:02 holds a 31Ib machine gun and charges the enemy positions like a chad
His friend didn’t die, he just maxed his 3 vehicles and headed back to the hangar.

Wtf 45 seconds ago
Really? AH OH
Thank you so much for this video. Please do more videos like this one and the audie Murphy one
Cheers👍
this channel is so underrated
America: fights two racist empire in WW2 in name of democracy and equality.
Also America: You don't receive the Medal of Honor for your bravery because you are black!
The duality of America.
Oh my god the fire effect are so good and the quality Just Perfect!
5:27 looks like ME when playing World War Heroes
yes
You know that you can play with the 761 Tank Battalion in Call of Duty: Finest Hour for the PS2. "My name is Sam Rivers..."
4k epic, also face textures look dope
Imagine firing your machine guns for an hour until it runs out of rounds and your other soldiers have to pry you off.
lol yeah that guy is Mad Lad!
Yarnhub is back with an action movie
Yarnhub's videos are more realistic than real life
Harding the soilder is playing Pvp with Yarnhub's fans
Your animations have improved greatly. Amazing Job Yarnhub!
5:12 - That is some of the most realistic brass I have ever seen in CGI. You can actually see the dents in the case walls. It would be neat to see more Eastern Front Russian videos from you guys. Keep it up
This channels animations are now high quality from 2D animations to 3D high quality animations in little over a year wow
No Medal of Honor for him?? That’s just our racism. 😐
Shamefully. That was a real half-assed "thank you" even though he did his duty of beating the fuck out of the germans and saving his troops in the process. It's a shame what prejudice can do.
@@RandomInternetUser-yi5cc So true, hermano. Same with WW2 Hispanic soldiers. Their valor was likewise great. 💛🙏🏼
I really think the Harlem hell fighter should be made next ,
I would appreciate to know more about them.
Animation are now just amazing. Congrats!
This channel has got he most elite quality of content and animation. IT DESERVES MORE SUBSCRIBERS!! Come on RUclips community!
It’s so cool seeing your guy’s animations skills getting better
I absolutely loved it! Would like to see more videos talking about this. Thank you for all your hard work you put into making your videos!
Rest in peace Chadwick Bowman, we all miss you.
R.I.P indeed you Warrior.
Finally! They uploaded one on a day when I don’t have class!
He deserves The Medal of Honour
Hear-Here!!
Yes thank you mate for sponsoring my favorite game again
The animations are now beautiful, the facial expressions, lighting, and everything else is amazing!
Whenever a great war story is told, the heros are mostly texans
A Man from Texas
A Man from the Wild
Russians also come up often
There were heroes from every state and country involved but it does seem like Texas has more. One of my favorites was Dory Miller. May he rest in peace.
Love your amazing as always work Yarnhub! Always the best entertainment in the youtube world. Your dedication to your craft is unparalleled! Thank you!!!
Everyone: *Talks about Black Panther from Marvel*
Me when I hear Black Panthers: *Thinks about the Black Panther Party*
Finally another videos. It's always top quality good job
"They have to pry to empty machine guns out of his hands"
Thats one Ironman right there
Its great to see that you have sponsors. You really deserve that for this quality content and the hard work.
i thought it was gonna be like a division of panther tanks painted black, this is even better
HELL YEAH! STILL HERE! I also like how the models of these tanks have already gotten on a near hyper-realistic design! Just a few more videos, or heck, maybe by next week, I might mistake these vehicles as live-action!
It amazes me that despite numerous examples of black troops behaving as bravely or better throughout history, they still carried the same prejudices towards them. Thats why history is important.
3:13
*"Attach Cable"*
0:17 that tank heading straight at that tree with a vengeance
God the animations keep Getting better. Keep it up love it !
Bruh that was soooooo quick like wait was that a week?! Not a few seconds when this new video came out!??!! Unbelievable keep up the good work man love your vids
5:34 i can't stop laughing at this
Yeah it is pretty funny. Is almost something in a War Comedy Show.
I never realized it but you don't often show people dying. It's an interesting take for a combat centered channel and I think it fits the nature of the videos
Im just surprised Yarn swore. But Im sure its just because he's trying to be as accurate as possible
Theyre good and all, BUT DAYUM THAT ANIMATION DO BE SMOOTH
Perfect
YES YARNHUB the charters now have they’re suspenders and utility belt yes GOOD
Guys can we get a discussion started because I want to know if anyone has ever gotten a real air kill with the Flak 88 in War Thunder? I can't seem to kill any plane as the traverse speed is too slow. Thanks!
I did. 3 of them
I think phlydaily has a vid where he targets planes with it
It’s very hard but with practice and a lot of deaths you can get it. It takes awhile. Try using it in Arcade mode to get used to it.
Dude this gun was for large bombers , not for fighters at low altitude . 😅
God I'm so fuckin' proud to be a Texan and a combat vet. Literally the last 5 videos I've watched from this channel have Texans in the main spotlight.
Hey Yarnhub, when is War Thunder going to sponsor you? Also, I love your vids, dude! Super high quality, steady weekly uploads, you have got my complete respect, forever.
Soon....
@@Yarnhub
Do *you* play War Thunder
Checked the video out as I play World of Tanks and I have the 761st logo on several of my tanks. I knew it was real and I wanted to know the story behind it. I was not disappointed in the slightest.
Hello There! Lovely learning history from an animatir
That’s new, never been hearted by a history channel before…
General Kenobi.
I wasn't aware Iron Man and Black Panther were originally the same dude. You learn something new every day!
There was another Armored Force unit called 'Black Panthers' that exists to this day. The 69th Armor Regiment has a long history. The last Soldier from Detroit Michigan awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, SGT Dwight Hal Johnson was a Black Panther. The story of Dwight Johnson using every weapon available to him on that battlefield to defeat the enemy isn't a yarn. At what point do you decide to use a M3 grease gun as a club to beat an enemy soldier to death? Right after you ran it out of ammunition... Dwight Johnson died due to ill treatment of the wounds that he had received in the service of his country. Dwight Johnson's story should remind us all that there are debts we can never repay but also debts we owe that we can and should do everything we can to repay.
69th division? nice
I love how Crecy laid down a few shots fired moment against the gunner.
"White officers expecting them flee at first contacts"

Bro I remembered this video and wanted to come back to it, tomorrow im acting in a movie staring the 761st tank battalion with the black panthers. In I belive 1944
