Luftwaffe Fighter Veterans in the French Foreign Legion
 

So far Siegfried Freytag (102 air victories) and Franz Stadler (16 air victories) are the two that I know that were Luftwaffe fighter pilots that were in the French Foreign Legion after WWII. Can you name more of the Luftwaffe fighter pilots that went into the Legion as soldiers in Indochina after WWII?

For Luftwaffe fighter veterans who joined the French Foreign Legion after WWII,it took several months of learning and training for ground combat. Their only expertise they know in the past were using the parachute. I think several of them became paratroopers of the French Foreign Legion. I also think that the Wehrmacht veterans who were in the Legion were later in the Bundeswehr.
