638 Regiment: A Novel of the Legion Volontaires Francais - Paperback

by Anthony Genualdi (Author)

This is a novel, based on fact, about the 638th Regiment of the German Army in World War II. This unit was made up of French volunteers from the occupied part of France. They were mostly French fascists in the beginning, but blacks and Algerians later joined as well. The unit had been deployed to what is now called Belarus to fight partisans. Sergeant LeBris and his men fight this dirty war, and he struggles with conscience.
