Guerrilla tactics of the Viet Cong have proven themselves effective against traditional army tactics.
I’ll have to catch this one in a re-run.

Spetnaz and Seals clean up, steal the beer, sell the North Sea, and go surfing in VietNam.

Keep in mind that a number of those Waffen SS joined the French Foreign Legion and had their asses handed to them by the Viet Minh...

The Vietnamese Cadre were true belivers. With the SS some were true believers and some were afraid to say otherwise.
I think it was Nick Rowe who wrote that the cadre were near robotic in their devotion. Someone handed them a rifle and 5 rounds of ammo and they walked 1000 miles to use it.
On the other hand if you put the cadre on european soil and the nazis would have eliminated them like bugs.

The Waffen SS were uniformed military men. Despicable in their conduct and ultimate goal. The Viet Cong were, for the most part, without uniform, but military men non-the less. Despicable in their conduct and ultimate goal. I see no difference.

The show had promise when it first started. I thought it was an interesting concept. But it quickly became pretty much unwatchable for me.

What a stupid thread. Matching scum -v- scum is no contest. Try the Knight’s of Malta versus either?

The SS would have vaporized Hanoi and then asked the viet cong to come out of their little holes now.

War, and the perceived VC advantage in VN, is/was all about logistics.
Supply and support.
Where is the battle being held?
In Vietnam, my nod goes to the VC.
In Germany or Eurp theater, nod to the Waffen troops.
Now on a non-aligned battlefield with equal logistics for each side, the nod goes to superior training, armament, organization and battle-skills - - - I go with the Waffen SS.
...$0.02.
