I am trying to remember the name of a book that was written about ex- SS soldiers that fought in Indochina with the French in the late forties and fifties. I think it had "Devil" in the title.

Thanks!

Are you guy`s talking about the 'Devils Guard' trilogy by George R. Elford?
If so, get ready to shell out big bucks if you can find them. Good luck

All those guys were with the Legion, so a history of the Legion in Viet Nam is one way to go as the other book seems to be extremely rare

If I recall the first book was called Devil's Guard and book two was Recall To The Inferno or Devil's Guard Part Two I used to have those books Then one day many years ago I got rid of a bunch of paperbacks Sadly I got rid of them Those books are very interesting to read
