The 761st was the first unit to enlist African-American soldiers to operate armored vehicles. What the Tuskegee Airmen were to the skies, the 761st was to land, as they were requested by General George S. Patton to assist with heavy fighting during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII. The soldiers of the 761st Tank Battalion fought for 183 consecutive days, in six countries, and with great success despite a fifty-percent casualty rate. They were commonly referred to as "Elenor Roosevelt's Niggers", but proved themselves to be America's Men in what we now call the "Greatest Generation".

In "761st", twelve of these great soldiers recount their experience in the United States Army, fighting for a freedom overseas that they did not enjoy in America.
