Summaries

Ensemble film depicting the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-black female WWII unit deployed to Europe in 1945. They faced discrimination but cleared 17 million pieces of backlogged mail for troops despite adversity.

In February 1945, the U.S. Army sent 855 black women from the Women's Army Corps "WACs" to England and France to clear the backlog of mail in the European Theater of Operations. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the SixTripleEight, was the only all-black female battalion to serve in Europe during WWII. Confronted with racism and sexism from their own leadership and troops, they served with honor and distinction completing their mission in six months. By war's end, the SixTripleEight had cleared over 17 million pieces of backlogged mail ensuring the troops stayed in touch with their loved ones back home. The last of the women returned home in March 1946. They were never fully recognized until now.—Malcholm Reese
