Just learned about Lauri torni and it got me to wondering. Did we absorb many Axis personnel after the war...

Why indeed

well now I gotta go read on the FFL in Indochina

All modern military trainig guides are based off of german wwII traning manuscripts. Germany also came up with the C section, nylon and spandex to name a few technological advancements.

Hes right

Look at those disgusting phenotypes

No, they were slaughtered in camps in Germany. Look it up.

I live in coastal South Carolina and there were Nazi POWs housed here. They had it pretty good from my understanding, probably 100x better than the ones who got captured in the East. Anyway they helped build some of the buildings and random projects around the Airforce Base here. Not too shabby a POW gig, plus the beach is a few blocks away

YIKES

Holy shit, I just found out about this two days ago. They persecuted those poor defenseless jews! Many such cases!

>But the French Foreign Legion was chock full of Germans.

This is an exaggeration, certainly there was a significant German element in the FFL during the postwar period, but they were by no means a majority. There was also a significant number of Spaniards and Eastern Europeans among others fighting in the ranks of the FFL in Indochina, but nobody ever seems to mention them, because I guess it doesn't get their dicks as hard as the idea of ex-Waffen SS supersoldiers mowing down Vietminh hordes... which for the most part is a myth.

>Pretty much every supposedly French officer with prior combat experience that fought in Indochina was former Wehrmacht.

This meanwhile is straight up bullshit. Care to name a few? Or even just one?

The West German Government and army, as well as NATO were full of ex Reich military. How could it be any other way? Practically every man served during the war, and afterward they were the only people available.

Not specifically working for the US but Skorzeny went to Africa and led a mercenary/PMC Goup.

Not that guy but there was a significant enough presence within the legion that SS marching songs became Legion marching songs which would imply a vast German presence in the post war period.

What did the Soviets and GDR do with mid level Wehrmacht officers? I’ve heard conflicting reports, with some saying that the NVA was full of ex-Wehrmacht officers and others saying the Soviets trained a whole new officer corps from scratch.

THEY WENT TO WAR WITH FUCKING HORSES YOU NIGGER. THE GERMANS COULDN'T EVEN PRODUCE ENOUGH TRUCKS FOR BARBAROSSA SO THEY USED MILLIONS OF HORSES

read devils guard for peak jungle operation

>It was a day of the bayonet

Interestingly enough the Viet Minh was full of ex-IJA soldiers.

I wasn't denying that their presence was significant, just the claim that almost the entire post-WW2 FFL consisted of Germans. Also the songs that were adopted were German songs, many of them quite old, not "waffen-ss" songs.

>mfw germany was the most scientifically advanced nation in the world

They held a rough parity in virtually every field save for hydrophones and rocketry, at best.

One of the most interesting things to me is the asian independence wars after WW2. Lots of Japanese soldiers stationed in South East Asia just stayed in the colonies and fought for their independence. They served with the Viet Minh, with the Indonesian rebels, and with others.

the French were allegedly encountering *entirely* Japanese units in Vietnam as late as 1947. In 1946 the French estimated there were 2,000 IJA volunteers fighting with the Viet Minh, mostly technical advisers and so forth, but also in combat roles

Beaufort AFB? I’m also a lowcountry fag fren

>Lots of Japanese soldiers stationed in South East Asia just stayed in the colonies and fought for their independence
Many of those people did not have a choice because some of them were POWs of guerillas,

This was the case in China: stranded Jap soldiers were in KMT and PRC armies during the civil war.

>And the Viet Minh wanted them, the officers and NCOs particularly, as training cadres. In September 1945, there were about 50,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians in northern Vietnam; by December 1946, about 32,000 had been repatriated and 3,000 escaped to the island of Hainan, leaving 15,000 still in the country. Perhaps a third of these, Goscha believes, may have joined the Viet Minh as cadre, combat troops, or civilian experts.

>In Thai Nguyen province, the Japanese apparently ran an arms factory. In Hanoi, a western-educated Japanese scholar named Kiyoshi Komatsu directed the Viet Minh's "International Committee for the Aid and Support of the Government of the DRV." In Quang Ngai, a Viet Minh officers' school had six Japanese officers on the faculty; in southern Trung Bo province, 36 out of 50 military instructors were Japanese. Major Ishii Takuo, a young officer of the 55th Division in Burma, deserted in Cambodia in December 1945 with several comrades and made his way to Vietnam, where he became a colonel in the Viet Minh, provisional head of the Quang Ngai military academy, and later "chief advisor" to Communist guerrillas in the south. Some specialists, including doctors and ordnance experts, were forced to work for the Viet Minh against their will. The French identified eleven Japanese nurses and two doctors working for the Viet Minh in northern Vietnam in 1951.
>During the first battles in the north, Japanese soldiers served in the front lines. In Hue in 1947, the French reported battling a Japanese assault force of 150 men. Also in 1947, Colonel Ishii helped set up an ambush that killed upwards of 70 French soldiers.

Koshiro Iwai led Vietnamese units into battle and led commando raids behind French lines; by 1949 he was a Viet Minh battalion deputy commander. Later he became a planner for the 174th Regiment, helping the Viet Minh to employ their newly acquired Chinese cannon.

On the other end, Japanese veterans also fought *for* colonial forces against the nascent revolutionaries. Sometimes even against Japanese volunteers (or "volunteers") on the rebels' sides. In Indonesia and Vietnam, again, and in Malaysia, Dutch, French, and British forces respectively praised Japanese volunteers

That book is total horseshit and you have to be retarded to believe any of it.

So were these japs who had joined, voluntarily or not, another armed faction or were they actual renegade japanese holdouts that never recognized that their war had ended?

It's literal Sven Hassel-tier military fiction. Don't get me wrong, it's a very entertaining read, but if you want to read a good book about the French Indochina War that's not fantasy, then check out Street without Joy and/or Hell in A Very Small Place: The Siege of Dien Bien Phu, both by Bernard B. Fall.

Törni himself was a sort of a late addition to a group of Finnish officers already serving in the US Army, known as "Marttinen's Men" after their leading figure Alpo K. Marttinen, who rose to the rank of colonel in the US Army.

All of the men had been involved in the so-called Weapons Cache Case back in Finland, in which after WW2 weapons caches were established around the country in preparation for a guerilla war incase the Soviet Union would try to occupy Finland. When the Allied Commission in Finland (which was pretty much dominated by Soviet Union) found out about it they weren't happy and demanded that the officers involved needed to be punished, so many of them had to bail out of the country, even though the creation of the caches had been ordered by Finnish Army HQ.

He won’t let a little thing like the truth interfere with his faith in German superiority.
Like how the German general staff didn’t lose ww1. It was the jeeewwwss!

They voluntarily joined. Something people forget is that when Japan surrendered, they still occupied a lot of territory, including Indochina, parts of mainland China, Indonesia, Borneo, etc. A lot of Japanese soldiers here had little idea that the war was being lost, because as far as they knew they were holding out just fine. So when Japan surrendered, it came as a shock to many, who felt betrayed and abandoned by their government. When they got a chance to put their skills to use in Indochina, they took it.

I fucking love this map, but not for the same reason you posted it. Fuck you. America is awesome.
