This video explores the history of the 93rd Infantry Division, an African American unit in the US Army during World War I and World War II. It highlights their service under French command in WWI, where they were issued French equipment and earned the nickname "Blue Helmets." The video also touches upon their continued service in WWII and their fight against racial discrimination and Jim Crow laws, with a visit to the Buffalo Soldiers Museum in Houston, TX.
This video showcases a unique "2-Gun" challenge where the host attempts to shoot a match while wearing a reproduction World War One French M2 gas mask and Adrian helmet. The experiment is hampered by significant lens fogging and limited peripheral vision, especially during the initial pistol stages. The host struggles with target acquisition and accuracy, eventually abandoning the mask for the final rifle stage. The experience highlights the extreme difficulty of engaging targets under such conditions and provides a compelling look at historical gear's practical limitations.
