That seems very far-fetched. Not buying it. But then I looked it up. Yep, you’re right.

In the end, he enjoyed his work more than the cause.

Think about that, and how many well trained merc companies we have floating around now.

There were a lot of former German soldiers in the French foreign legion after the war. Many were used to the desert.

I believe that the Brits were using small-unit (e.g. 2 jeeps) attacks on Rommel’s army in N. Africa well before this.
