French Ride Forth to Check Islamic Aggresion

[KestrelBike]

Yes for Wehrmacht, no for SS. After WW2, a lot of german POW were either asked, or forced (depending of ranks and assignment) to serve the french state for cleaning (Mine removal on the Atlantic wall...), and by 1948, volunteer where incorporated to the Legion. A lot of these men where former Afrika Corps soldiers. This explain why some of the legion's marching song includes german words....

SS are a different story: they were interned in france, then handed over to germany in the late 40'.

I assumed any In the FFL were Waffen SS and not camp guards, etc?

No SS and Camp guard should have been admitted in the legion (I do not use FFL, because in my mind it refers to the french resistance). SS, were quickly delt with when captured, and prison guard where not present on french territory in 1945. Also, it is interesting to know that in general "Lager" guards where 2nd, 3rd grade troop unfit for front line duties.
