A fully illustrated study of the Wehrmacht's French volunteer units and their actions on the Eastern Front and in North Africa during World War II.

It is little known that, in late 1941, French volunteer units were among Wehrmacht troops defending Germany in the first bitter winter on the Eastern Front, and also among the last fighting for Berlin in April 1945. After Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, some 13,000 Frenchmen enlisted in the âL©gion des volontaires fran§ais contre le bolch©vismeâ (LVF), which was reformed as the Wehrmachtâs Infanterie-Regiment 638 and posted to Russia.

This volume examines the involvement of French volunteers, not only on the Eastern Front, but also in the âPhalange Africaineâ in Tunisia and in the âL©gion Tricoloreâ, a short-lived military organization under the control of the French Vichy government. Using archive photographs and specially commissioned artwork, it casts a new light on forces fighting for the Axis and studies the French personnelâs equipment, insignia and uniforms while describing their involvement in some of the most gruelling battles of World War II.
