Rolf Steiner, An all around soldier. First serving in the Hitler Youth, Then joining the French  Foreign Legion. Seeing action in both Indo-China and Algeria. loosing the use of a lung at Dienbienphu from wounds sustained in the siege. He became a sergeant in the Legion and also a section commander in the SAO (Secret Army Organization) in Algeria. After a suspended sentence for the activities in the SAO, He became A commander in the Biafran Army during the Nigerian Civil War. Spent some time in prison in Africa before finally retiring to West Germany. Id say he was a true adventurer and an all around bad ass.
