About this listen

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.

Great story

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

Narration Unlistenable.
Listen to a sample.
Written as at the level for middle schoolers. Cannot be taken seriously

Fairytale

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The story bordered on the absurd, and the camp was made worse by the narrator when he attempted to speak in military dialect. The narrator’s grasp of English pronunciation was also wanting.

Absolutely daft narrative.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The whole book was him talking about how the SS was so great and he was so great. At the same time saying that the Nazi’s weren’t that bad. Basically he was trying to act like he was a mix of Captain America(Captain Nazi) and Mother Teresa.

Total BS

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Narrated like a cartoon with mugged up accents. Racist references to Vietnamese as ‘ugly Asian monkeys’ in the narrative. Full of cliches and Nazi fantasies. Couldn’t get through even the first chapter. Waste of a credit.

Awful

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The story is a sold EHH right up until the point you stop listening. The narrator sounds like George Bush trying to do French and German accents. There’s a random very poorly done sex seen. It comes out of nowhere and dose not help the story at all.

I recommend instead “Devils Guard” by George R Elford.

Or for The best soldier story from Vietnam I recommend “we few” by neck Brockhausen

Its a Novel. Not a good one either.

Fanciful idiocy mislabeled as cleaning up myths. The fantasy of a bored armchair historian too lazy to get minor details or major events right. Trash.

Misleading title - Garbage
