En ese batallón se organizarían las cuatro compañías, que, como el resto de unidades con antifascistas, cobrarían protagonismo como consecuencia de una medida xenófoba impuesta por EEUU: vetaron a los soldados de color negro en el ejército francés al que estaban armando, lo que suponía un contratiempo especialmente para Leclerc, que llevaba tres años reclutando tropas desde Camerún hacia el norte de África.
Leclerc se opuso, aunque De Gaulle le forzó a aceptar esas condiciones ante la imposibilidad de armar una fuerza de 14.000 hombres sin el apoyo estadounidense. “Los españoles y antifascistas de otros países, y también soldados norteafricanos, comenzaron entonces a sustituir a los tiradores senegaleses. Llenaron ese hueco y acabaron teniendo el peso específico que acabaron teniendo”, anota Gaspar.
Can we get a better source saying that the Spaniards and others were taken in because the United States did not want black soldiers in the Free French Army?
