French Indochina Series (1 Viewer)

[lancer]

So I've been reading "Street without Joy" very aptly named. From start to finish it was pretty much one catastrophe after another for the French it's only surprising they held on as long as they did and certainly gives plenty of scope for ideas for dioramas !

A fiction book about Indochina I remember reading forty odd years ago was "The Devils Guard" was a very good read I recall.

Been looking at some of the vehicles used by the French during that time period there and I was surprised to see a photo of a Bren Gun carrier parked up alongside a Sdkfz 251 and in another French troops armed with MP 40's

Another interesting vehicle and perhaps one that TG might be interested in producing is the C15TA, used in North West Europe and Far East in WW2 by Britain and Commonwealth Countries, French in IndoChina and up into the mid sixties by ARVN.

I remember The Devils Guard. Written by George Elford, it is about all the Germans (SS) that joined the FFL after WW2 and how they were so effective in the fighting in Indochina. It is a controversial work in terms of how much might have been true and how much was pure fiction. It is quite expensive on the secondary market these days. It's 'success' as a publication led to 2 or 3 sequels, all in PB I think, and all expensive now a days. -- Al

The next 7 figures have been painted and should be with us hopefully in time for Christmas!

 

[Horus]

Hope the Chaffee won't be too far behind !?

Hoping the Chaffee won't be Camouflaged when it's released making it less useful for other scenarios other than one named tank at DBP.
