“The Wereth Eleven”
Manage episode 491331036 series 3668919
In this powerful episode of The Forbidden Frequency, we uncover the harrowing yet heroic story of the Wereth Eleven—eleven African American soldiers of the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion who fought bravely during World War II and made the ultimate sacrifice. After escaping the chaos of the German Ardennes Offensive, they sought refuge in a small Belgian village, only to be betrayed, captured, and brutally executed by Nazi SS troops.
For decades, their story was silenced—omitted from official U.S. war crime records and forgotten by history. Until now.
Join us as we retrace their footsteps through snow-covered fields, recount their final moments of dignity and courage, and celebrate the long-overdue recognition of their legacy. This is a story of resilience, racism, remembrance—and the unbreakable spirit of eleven Black men who refused to be erased.
Because some frequencies were never meant to be silenced.
