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.

Not the original story

I couldn’t listen anymore the narration was too irritating. I will have to read a hard copy.

Computer generated narration

Absolute fiction, the parts where the main character makes love with a rescued prisoner in a RON point in Triple canopy jungle was the final straw.

pure fiction

This has what sounds like an automated narration. It has got to be the worst I have ever heard. I have read this book many years ago and this version from what I can remember has left a lot of the story out. I was so looking forward to this book. However I feel let down by this version. I would not recommend buying this version of the Devils guard.

an awful narration

What a massive disappointment. What could have been a incredible story was thrown away in favour of a trashy third rate novel. Riddled with inconsistencies and with a painful love interest that was as surreal as a kinder egg on the moon. Made all the more cringe by being read by an elderly American who sounded like he was reading a bed time story to an eight year old. It was beyond awful don’t waste your money or time with this drivel.

Utter rubbish
