Why did France award the Harlem hellfighters ther croix de guerre?

because they survived 191 days in heavy combat and they were chosen to lead the French high command to lead the allied forces to the line. Not only that, the Harlem Hellfighters were the first African American unit granted by anyone in the USA. To this day the United States has yet honored these men for what they did for their country. The French are the only ones who recognized them for what they did.
