firstly i would like to say a big hi to every one as ive just found somewhere where alot of knowedgable people talk about a subject i like (though know absolutly nothing about!)
i read many years ago that the french foreign legion that fought at dien bien fu were mostly made up of ex waffen ss that the french allowed in not too many questions asked at the wars end, is there any truth in this? after all there would have been a large pool of battle hardened men sitting unemployed in germany after the war. high profile officers from various arms worked for other nations, did the Wss do the same?
if so, where else did they fight?
dien bien fu...

ill take all you have got! i wasnt sure if it was just an urban myth or not... after all the fuss the french have and do make about the war and occupation i was sceptical whether they took them or not.
