The Legion was made up of refugees from all over the Germanics a hodgepodge then under NaThe Legion poleonic domination. served on every sort of front during the long war cycle, even acting as marines in various naval operations. They fought from the North Cape to the North African coastline, and campaigned against the Americans in 1812 and after. They were owned," payed, and equipped by the British government, and they burned with hatred of the Hitler-likBonaparte, who had turned their fatherlands Into a new order." The Legion, which made a specially distinguished record at Waterloo, contained Austrians and Netherlander, as well as natives of the various little Germanies. History tends to repeat itself, and in the year 1941 the Kings Legion has come to life again in various forms. The old Legion was predominantly Germanic. The new Legion, or legions, are politically but they take In a wide variety of peoples. Thia time they include Dutch, Belgians, Norwegians, Danes, Poles, Czechs, free" Frenchmen, and goodness knows what else. In such cases, their countries have boeu overrun, and England has become the refuge the last white hope or chance. In fighting for England, these people feel they are fighting for their own lost countries, and against the common tv rant. Today the tyrast is A. H and not N.

This is not an innovation, e trnr. Anti Fascist Frenchmen served England against Napoleonic France in the early 1800s. In short, what we are witnessing now as then is an international civil war. 50,000 Foreign Fighters. Today there are something like 50,000 foreign legionaries serving the British empire. Strangely enough, this is just about the same sire as the King's German Legion of antiquity. These foreign legionaries might, in a sense, be considered the composite army of the late lamented League of Nations In many cases, their dummy governments are in London or Bristol, as well as their armed representatives The king of Norway and the queen of Holland are among the foreign-legiorulers in the British isles, as was the black Ethiopian Lion of Ju- e The other exiled groups seem somewhat surprisingly indifferent at times, when viewed through excited American spectacles. Just the same, if the invasion of England ever comes, these motley groups may be counted on to fight fiercely and no holds barred. It's their last chance this side of paradise.
