The Werhrmacht in Indochina V.2

They may be not nazi diehards but they still went true 15 years of indoctrination.


well, any proof for your opinion?

what chance is larger :
that a german soldier will marry a indochine girl or a southern white american a black woman?

also, math seems not to be your strong side... the germans had maximum 12 years of indoctrination... a lot had less - esp. if we speak about soldiers...

also we are 1 year later - in 1946, the defeat of germany is well known and the crimes commited by germans in the name of nazism germany is it too... so you will not find a lot diehard-nazis anymore.
sure, some will exist - but again

how many white southern men would allow a black men to marry a white girl in his town? we speak about 1946.... what consequences will this white men have?
 
Being isolated in Indochina, the Germans' loyalty is going to be with each other. Not Nazism, or France, or even Germany, so much as the comrades they're fighting and dying with. Everything else will be second to that.

Kind of the American mentality during Vietnam! :D
 
It is the Legion Menthalite,and you do not leave a body,copain,fellow or whatever you call it,they fight for each other and the legion.It seems to work pretty well for them.

Especially in this case, when they know that the French will hang them out to dry eventually.

I think the US will get involved in this ans take the Germans out back to Germany as that sort of dickishness seems internationally unacceptable.

They might try, but by the time they get wind of it and try to do so, expect the Germans to be less than thrilled with such a decision. Also expect a warm welcome.

New thought: How about a late '50s, or early '60s US invasion of Indochina? I could see Israel also wanting to be a big part of such an endeavor.
 
Actualy former Wehrmacht and SS troops fought on both sides in the Korean War, French-Indochina and Vietnam IRL, supplied by whichever side they were on. Some fought because they were anti-Soviet, some because National Socialism and communism share the same roots and some just because they couldnt cope with civilian life or liked killing.

Also the story post seems eerily similar to a book I read a few years ago. Dont recall the title or author.
 
Just to clarifyi,i have a book with me right now"Dien Bien Phu the epic battle America forgot" that says the USa were paying 80% of the cost of the war by 1964!It shows that the french forces were fighting,but the USA were paying for the alresdy,than latter the fought and pay for the second part!
 
Forgot to post, the book was written by Howard R. Simpson.Good book with many personal acounts of the battle
