It purported to be the memoirs of a SS captain IIRC, who fought in France and Germany, and then joined the French foreign legion to fight in French Indo-China (Vietnam). He professed to loathe communism and communists. His tactics were brutal, But effective. I think I paid a couple of bucks for it in a second-hand book store in Johannesburg. I lent it to someone who didn't give it back, so I looked to see if it was still for sale. It was, For *hundreds of pounds*, on ebay. That prompted me to look for other examples of Nazi themed items. This shit goes for unbelievable sums. People with a lot of money love the whole Nazi meme. It is and was great theatre. Great logo. Fantastic marketing.
