I dont agree with some of the format and priorities here. According to its wikipedia entry the Israli Machal no longer exists as such. So why is it given such prominence? The Dutch KNIP sounds like a simple colonial unit. Again why is it special since it no longer exists ( and members would have been considered at least Dutch subjects )? The Waffen SS legions may be famous ( or infamous ) but what about the free French units who served in the British and Russian militaries during the same period?I would like to expand this article, so if someone can comment on my efforts I would be grateful. 85.216.52.8 17:38, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Foreign Legion / Foreign Volunteers

this page is not about foreign volunteers in general - any list of foreign volunteer units belongs on the page "foreign volunteers".. Mesoso2 09:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
