I could be wrong though.
OK, I never thought my end less knowledge of War Comics would be of use on this board, but today I stand corrected. Issue #7 of The Nam(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_%27Nam) Good Old Days; Duong, a Kit Carson Scout, shares his insight with Ed Marks about the politics and struggles in Vietnam's history. During the story he tells Ed about how when the French (the French Foreign Legion) came to Vietnam they mostly ex-Nazis (Germans). Like many of the stories feature in series it was base on true events.
