The Allied soldiers of WWII were made up of primarily American, Soviet, British, Norwegian and French nationals. After the war there were reportedly 68,000 (Statistische Bundesamt Wiesbaden, 1956) to 100,000 (M. Witenburg and M. Widmann, 2007) children fathered illegitimately by Allied troops in Europe. The largest percentages of children, about 94%, were fathered by white Americans and Russians. The rest of the war babies were said to have been fathered by non-white American troops or GI’s.
Having been deployed abroad in the 1950’s, Afro-American GI’s (E. Drolsshahen,
2005), which made up no more than 6% of the occupation forces from the U.S., were said to have fathered as many as “3,093 Negro mulattoes” or “occupation babies.” (Helga Emde, L.T.Hopkins, Jr., 1999)
