A book came out in the late 70s early 80s called the devils guard about a group of ex waffen SS men who joined the foreign legion and went to indo China. One of the best books I ever read.
I agree with you on the book, was written by Eric Meyer, is a fascinating look on life of post Ww2 German troops as Mercs👍
Just ordered it! Thanks for the tip!
The Devil's Guard was written by George Robert Elford?

I served as a cav trooper on the East German border in the mid-80s. One of the night clubs in the city of Coburg was a gathering spot for German legionnaires who were on leave. Not sure if they were all from around there, or if that was just where they met and drank. There were over a dozen there sometimes. They played some really rough drinking games. One of them was kneeling on bar stools facing each other and taking turns slapping each other in the face until one fell off. One of the US soldiers joined in and was knocked off his stool before he even got in a single slap.
Which Club?
@@Damokles98 It was called The Scotch Club.

Would love to see more of these type of videos!
As a Bavarian, I’m unsurprisingly very interested with German history especially war history throughout the ages. Particularly post wwII as such cases as those who fought in the legion, American Green Beret, and in rare cases the mossad
I also grew up in Bavaria. Im working on a video during WW 2 rn but the next one will be post ww 2 history again :D
who fought for the mossad ?
@@yggdrasild755 Otto Skorzeny
@@user-bu4ut2li1m No, after WWII Otto Skorzeny did no fighting. Mossad gave Skorzeny, who had been cleared by the allied war crimes trials, a written promise to the effect that they would not kill, abduct, or pursue him, and in return he gave them vital information regarding German scientists working for Egypt. As far as my understanding goes, that was the end of their business.
@@yggdrasild755 . . US emergency number
Almost 30yrs ago I met an old Legionnaire in Key West Florida in a bar and he had been in Vietnam in the 50's. He came from Ireland and wasn't old enough to fight in WW2. There were no jobs in Ireland after the war so he went to Paris and enlisted.
He said he and two other soldiers sneaked through enemy lines at Dien Bien Phu and then met up with French Regular Army in Laos. Hmong people helped them escape.
Or, he was lying and I was buying the drinks!!🤣 But his winged-dagger tattoo was real!!
I dont have the exact no.s ...but a couple of tenthousends Germans served after WW2 in the FFL....in Indochine, Algeria and other spots. In Indochine around 10.000 deserted and quite a No served for the Vietminh. I doubt that a "Hmong" would have helped a deserter, as these "Mountainpeople" worked always for the French Intelligence and later for the CIA....the last Yanks were kicked out of Laos late 73 (I had a bar in Vientiane/Laos)..but for a while General Vang Pao in Long Cheng/Laos still carried on and some Hmongs fought the Commies till the late 90ys.
@@jurgen7579 Perhaps I was unclear? Sneaking through enemy lines AND meeting up with the Hmong AND the Regular French Army in Laos wasn't desertion. The Hmong were part of the reason those who did slip past the enemy in battle survived.
@@blackbird5634 my mistake. After the defeat of Dien Bien Phu he gaped it to avoid being captured by the Vietminh. Didnt read yr post properly . Just for the records...I was booked on the last flight Vientiane-Pakse-Saigon 1975 (Royal Air Lao, DC4).
He was told during the last week of fighting while there was still time, to leg-it if he saw a way through the lines and head towards Laos where the regular army had forces. According to him, he and his two pals didn't surrender, but regrouped with others.
He got sent to Algiers after that, came to the US in the early 60's and by the time I met him, he'd been everywhere and done everything at least once.👍
Remember I was buying the drinks, he was doing the talking and in this atmosphere of magic and myth, there may have been an iota of truth.
Like I wrote he had the winged-dagger tattoo, but anyone can get one of those. He was moved to sing a few old Legion marching songs in French, and Finnegan's Wake Pub seemed to give him the deference an old soldier/patron deserved.
He was lean, sun-burnt brown, had every other tooth in his mouth, and was an amiable drunk. I liked him.
@@blackbird5634 Amiable rogue sort ?
The bleeps make me mentally fill in the gaps with worse things than what was actually done lol.
This was a really well made video. Was there a similar mercenary culture around soldiers from other axis powers, like the Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, or Croatians?
Great question! Yes there indeed was and the second biggest axis group was actually Italians. There is also an italian book written on this but that topic is better suited for an italian. We also see hungarians being a common type that was hanging out with the germans at the time. Others are obviously eastern europeans who were volunteers for the Waffen SS and therefore could join easily because only germans were inspected for an SS past.
@@GIULI333
Very interesting! Thanks for the response!
@@GIULI333
There’s a serious community in South Africa of Balkan descended boers-afrikaners, and there were many guys in my country who escaped after 44, so there’s a chance some could’ve ended up somewhere there and maybe have become mercs.
During the Cold War there was a large group of Finnish WW2 veterans in the US Special Forces.They were called "Marttinens men" after their leader Colonel Alpo Marttinen.The most famous of them was Lauri Törni/Larry Thorne.Another group was veterans from the Finnish Waffen-SS Battalion,who belonged to BND (West German Intelligence) during the Cold War.
I read something a while ago about an Italian merc fought in the dominican Republic in the 60s he was ww2 vet as well quote about him- In the Dominican Republic, Capozzi was highly esteemed as an expert military and as an instructor of the "frogmen", the special corps of the Navy. When the conflict with the USA broke out, the Italian commander assumed a fundamental role within the rebel movement, in close contact with the leaders of the Constitutionalists.
Also read up on Rolf Steiner, a German who joined the FFL, fought in Vietnam and Algeria, was a member of the OAS, and later became a mercenary in Africa.
Cant believe a character like Steiner wasnt featured in this docu. Hitler Youth , Legion , Vietnam , Algeria , Biafra... he done the lot.
25:10 obligatory timestamp
I’m glad it back, I will watch the whole thing again this evening.
According to my late grandad, the World became a much shittier place after WWII...he never left Australia (enlisted, but rejected on health grounds) and saw the War from inside a truck and jeep factory. Australia fought bitterly, lost thousands of men and the home front suffered miserable poverty and housing shortages...it turned people into beasts and left us vulnerable to global power plays.
War is a RACKET!
Agree 100%. Wars are great for rich elites who then throw stupid "remembrance days" or "Veterans days" to keep the plebs happy.
In 1939, the US Vice President, declared, if the US would join WW2, Britain, France & Holland, would lose some colonies..(Antony Beevor).
Eisenhower's farewell speech was a massive warning.
No happiness, after ending this destructiveWW2, he gave us a warning, but this is considered a Conspiracy theory nowadays , by MSM..and Politicians rather have warm supporting who ever, they can make profit on, like Ukraine.
Anyone telling others to go to war, without lowering its salary to that of a frontline soldier, is a JOKE!
Remember this!
True that mate
If by "the world" you mean your grandfather
This is a Very Astute observation on your behalf...Unfortunately everyone on this panet already knew of this .
Great video man. Love this period but no one talks about it.
if this interests you, then read "Devil's Guard," the bio of Hans Josef Wagemueller. Or so the author of the book claims. Even if the book is fiction, it's very a interesting read.
Absolutely fascinating content! Danke
Excellent video about German mercs. They are excellent warriors with that Prussian fighting spirit.
Good video very informative, danke schoen. I'm an Army brat born in Heidelberg and lived in Mannheim, Karlsruhe and Bad Tolz. My late father got sent to Viet Nam 3 times so we moved around alot. I read a book long ago about an SS officer who fought at Dien Bien Phu for the Legion, cant remember the book but I always wondered if that was true. Germans make good soldiers and warriors, I had several uncles who served in the military in WWII who found that out and told me about it. My great uncle Bill landed at Normandy in a tank destroyer unit, fought at St. Lo and the Bulge. Nothing but respect for the German panzers, he always said he saw enough burning American tanks to learn that. Would love to see anything about German armor and infantry combat in WWII if you do that. Thanks from North Carolina US.👍
You thinking of Devils Guard? That’s the real widely read one allegedly about an SS soldier fighting in Indochina for the legion although it’s almost certainly fiction masquerading as biographical. Even today many people believe it’s a true story when they read it
SS POWs captured by the French had the choise between French Prison and FFL. I have not the exatr No.s of former SS serving in Dien Bien Phu, but it most be thousends, because a couple of hundred deseurted to the Vietminh
On the devils tail,is the true story of German troops fighting in indo China
Hochwertig wie üblich. Hoffe, dass du an den Erfolg des Ursprungsvideos anknüpfen kannst.
Very interesting video. I guess that quite a few German veterans found that their home town / region was no longer a part of Germany and they had no home

I think all you are trying to do here is deny that they'd have any significance in this, the fact that they are literally the top of the pyramid in all of this (it's their will and we, Whites, are their target) and are heavily over-represented in other areas too; more-street level, like pushing for leftism and rights for groups that shouldn't have them in our countries, pretty much all of it leads to them.
Quite honestly, either accept the JQ without any unnecessary sperging or shut the hell up, you shouldn't be in these circles if you keep poisoning everyone's brains with misleading garbage (even slightly, and this crap already happens enough with genuinely disingenuous people) when the explanation of our situation is rather simple.

I'm always amazed at the level of evil that all came together in the middle of the 20th century.
With all the end times stuff that's put out today, it makes you wonder how the last century could be overlooked as some sort of coalescence of demonic intent or gathering of those who thrive on hate in a casual way.
"Hell is empty, all the devil's are here."
Who helped the American and Russian space race,the really bad guys had skills n info,so never saw Nuremberg
It is like demon festivals in the 20th century or something! This era more about decadence and apathetic than about being evil itself! That is a slow death! This is also the era of hypocrisy and selfish disguise as self righteousness!
For more on this, I can recommend George Robert Elford's "Devil's Guard"....

Great video! Thanks for creating and uploading it.
Great video. Well done and thank you very much. Hate to be a knit picker but Mike Hoare is pronounced as 'Mike Hor'.
Great video. i have been studying this issue for decades as the history of the Congo Wars, early Vietnam War, 20th Century Middle East Wars, and post-colonial indepence movements are all filled with references to the German veterans serving in a variety of capacities. Plus novels. Those 1970s novels of secret NAZIS everywhere are always fun to read. Some are based on fact!
greeting from Vietnam, the French committed pretty horrible crimes here and they had the audacity to criticize the Germans lol .
Yes indeed. Vietnam was even described as a Colony for Exploitation. There wasn't even an attempt to pretend to be civilising. I'm sorry you folks had to go through all that. No wonder the Viet Minh and Viet Cong later had so much support
The Vietnamese were quite proficient at brutalizing each other as well. 🤔
@@Hunter_Nebid nowhere near as brave proud and civilized as the French who beat up their own women and children after the war......
@@Hunter_Nebid But its not the business of the French.The French wanted their Colonies back after WW2 and got their Ass kicked by the Viet Minh.

Kongo Müller died 83 in Boksburg/South Africa. Much more Germans served in Rhodesia (1965-80) and in the Angolan Border War in the 80ys and early 90ys.

All this SOF (Soldier of Fortune) writing about "Bountyhunter", Merc, Shotgunriders is (and was ) is plain........(the word who start with B).

This is a great video. I never knew that so many Germans went into the French Foreign Legion and fought in the same war that Americans did 2 decades later.
just try to imagine all of the things that you don't know , it was common knowledge in literature and movies old and new and in many TV shows
They fought in a completely different war to the Americans the Vietnamese called it the American war
Excellect documentary. Apart from the pronunciation of Mad Mike Hoare's name :)
Brilliant video
amazing video man
I was acquainted with an old Italian in NJ. Angelo. Fought along side the Germans in WWII. Everywhere, he said. The Horn, North Africa, Balkans, Russia. He said the only people he never regretted killing were the Albanians.
I was friends with a Man who had been a Marine Helo Mechanic at Chosin.
Vietnam was just so many, a CIA/US Army Hitman, Marine F4 Pilot, a Grunt, a Navy Radar operator who was dragged into N. Vietnam by the SEALs as the Package and it must have been that action where 2 seals were killed with their new M16's failing and he was carrying a Thompson that each baby sitting him asked 'Tom, if you buy it, can I have the Thompson?"
For some reason I was always smart enough not to pry, and got little tidbits here and there.
This vid appears to confirm something that just was not taught, and that was the West was Marxist, just like Germany and Russia. We were raised to be good little Marxists, whether Nationalist, or Internationalist, same thing, and the post War world, it was not a good idea to talk of how blood thirsty the Internationalists were.
Now America is no more, as the border has fallen for good. It is over. The Purge of the 51% is beginning.

Read Devils Gaurd in the 1970's While serving in UK military in the near East..
My late uncle Keith volunteered for Mike Hoares 5th Commando, so I have gone through your footage twice trying to see him!
He had incredible stories of his time in the Congo.
He said he was given a gold medal for bravery, but he didn't deserve it because what looked like a suicidal lone attack on a remote farm building was actually him running away from a huge spider. He was petrified of spiders.
His nickname was 'The Mad Bomber'.
When he finished his tour of duty, he was sent to the capital by boat down the Congo River.
Unfortunately, he dropped a match or a cigarette in some loose sacks and started a fire that destroyed the ship.
He tried to stop the fire but couldn't, so he picked up his kit and got off the boat.
They knew he was at fault because he was the only soldier with all his kit. Everyone else lost some or all of their kit.
He was fined every last US $ he had earned and returned to South Africa nearly broke.
Like Mike Hoare, my uncle hated Communism until his dying day.
The members of the French Foreign Legion are not mercenaries, They are regular soldiers in a regular army.
THEY ARE MERCENARIES FOR FRANCE . REGULAR ARMY MY A.. S .

Good video
I can't imagine the German veterans being welcome anywhere around the French regulars. The Legion was always a rouges gallery, but even with that tradition, there had to be hard feelings against them.
Actually the Legion fought on both sides during the war, in fact a couple of battles pitted Legion fighting for Vichy France against Legionnaires fighting for the allies.
As you said they were a dodgy lot
For almost a hundred years, Germans formed the backbone of the French Foreign Legion. In the history of the Legion, more soldiers came from Germany than from any other nation. At peak times, over half of all legionnaires were of German origin. Until the 1960s, the songs of the French Foreign Legion consisted largely of old German soldiers' songs. Radio communications in Algeria and Indochina were also often conducted in German.

It's difficult for people to understand the true professional soldier. Everyone knows about the Christmas truce in 1914, the first year of ww1. We like to imagine the young British and German soldiers, who 6 months ago could have attended university together, realize how similar they are and how awful it is to fight. Totally wrong. Instead picture the angry Irish sergeant, or the man who can get you anything, or the drunk officer. In 1914 these men were professionals. People who signed up expecting to spend at least 20 years and do exactly and kill exactly whoever needs killing. These hard men just used Christmas as a break. A way to avoid work. They truly did hold no ill will to the Germans. Killing is nothing personal. The Christmas truce never repeated because the new recruits did take fighting personal. These mercenaries knew how to enjoy their work and kill without anger or hate
