A black German Army captain's story can be found in this article:
http://www.zeit.de/2013/01/Bundeswehr-Offizier-Burihabwa
It is in German, so find yourself someone who can do the heavy lifting, and ask Die Zeit for permission.
The story of Ntagahoraho Burihabwa is fascinating.
In summary, you find out about everyday racism, hope, determination, and about a German Army that treated a black kid, born in Germany and raised in Kenya, pretty well after all.
Its has that American human interest story feel so familiar from stateside life.
