Yes, there were black soldiers in WW2. However the term "Buffalo Soldiers" refers to the name used by black cavalrymen of the Indian Wars during 1870s-1880s. That term was not used after that. However, when WW2 arrived, the Army formed segregated all-black units. They formed several all-black units such as engineer battalions, artillery battalion etc. but they did form two all-black infantry divisions. One was the 92 Infantry Division that adopted the symbol of the Buffalo on their insignia and the name "Buffalo Soldiers". This division was sent to fight in the Italian Campaign in 1944-1945.
