In a prior discussion on segregated troops I pointed out that the Whermacht did have black soldiers although not many. Indeed as the video above shows they did. Arabs and Africans served in the Arabian Free Legion. They we're not elite troops and fought Partisans in Greece and Yugoslavia and some served as guards in Tunesia. It shows that the Nazis were willing to use soldiers of color as they were short of manpower especially after 2941 due to heavy losses on the Eastern Front.

I could see Nazis as indifferent to Arabs, or even in some cases united by antisemitism.

But Nazis were pretty clear about hating blacks. That's why Jesse Owens rankled them so much.

Yet the hired a few anyway.
