What sort of administrative or bureaucratic challenges might an African American Soldier serving in Western Europe face if they wanted to remain in France or England after the end of WW1 or WW2? How much immigration of US black troops to Europe occurred after the war?

I'm vaguely aware that there was a small community of African Americans living in Paris after World War 1 but my knowledge on the topic ends there. could you recommend any further reading on any of these topics? I'm curious to learn more. Thank you very much in advance for any time you take to answer!
