They were in the army, my bad but they weren't in the same units as white-americans.

African-American soldiers played a significant role in World War II. More than half a million served in Europe. Despite the numbers they faced racial discrimination: prior to the war the military maintained a racially segregated force. In studies by the military, blacks were often classified as unfit for combat and were not allowed on the front lines. They were mostly given support duties, and were not allowed in units with white soldiers.

So the mix of black/white is not correct in the level? Guarding a home-base facility would be a support role though.
Sorry I thought they weren't allowed to serve until 1944.
