Following the myths and legends about Nazis recruited by the French Foreign Legion to fight in Indochina, Eric Meyer's new book is based on the real story of one such former Waffen-SS man who lived to tell the tale. The legion recruited widely from soldiers left unemployed and homeless by the defeat of Germany in 1945. They offered new identities and passports to men who could bring their fighting abilities to the jungles and rice paddies of what was to become Vietnam. These were ruthless, trained killers, brutalized by the war on the Eastern Front, their killing skills honed to a razor's edge. They found their true home in Indochina, where they fought and became a byword for brutal military efficiency.

I did not like the narration at all. The story just seems a bit cobbled together. I really tried to finish listening but am giving up with an hour left.

just nit that good

This is a great story. As others have mentioned, some of the narration could have been better, but overall they did fine. I fully enjoyed listening to this book and have recommended it to others.

Well, kind of uncomfortable to listen to tbh. Not a terrible book. Good enough story.

Written by a stout Wehraboo.

Get someone who is more entertaining and enthused about narration next time. The guy sounded suicidal.

Narration is poor

I was entertained by this story, but at times it seemed like a written documentary to me. There seemed to be a lot of descriptions about the place, the weapons, what the men wore, the living conditions, etc. which I felt overwhelmed the story to the point where the story itself was lost. Eventually the tale became more exciting, and it engaged my attention. I thought Gary Roelofs' narration was fine. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
