North Africans
"Despite racialised admission criteria, the unit included non-white volunteers from the French colonial empire. According to one source, there were approximately 200 non-white personnel, most of whom came from French North Africa and served in the 3rd Battalion". This is confusing to me as I was under the impression that North Africans are usually counted as white and Arabs were considered Aryan by the Nazis. (t · c) buidhe 16:15, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
