Breakthrough (The Red Gambit Series) - Plot & Excerpts
The trains had thundered eastwards and brought the whole of ‘Camerone’ to Rastatt, where men and machines debussed for the short journey to their holding area in and around Muggensturm and Waldprechtsweier, Germany. The journey through France had been uneventful, the strangely clad legionnaires hardly raising an eyebrow amongst the few civilians that examined the troops passing through their area. An occasional old soldier made the connection but, in line with the view taken by de Gaulle, his people generally cared only that units of the French Army were on the move and paid no attention to the detail. When ‘Camerone’ debussed at Rastatt, things were very different. Whilst no SS insignia were in sight, the very nature of the men who quietly and efficiently disembarked, forming into their combat units with practised ease, was obvious to anyone who had been in Germany in the last decade. Despite the seriousness of the situation facing their Fatherland, some of the population were less than enchanted to see the Schutzstaffel marching once more, albeit under the flag of the legendary Legion Etrangere, and more than one passing German gave voice to their fears.
