User blog comment:El Alamein/Viet Cong vs. Waffen SS/@comment-3977304-20180730051649

Here’s my vote

If by using simple logic, one can assume that the Viet Cong would win against the Nazi SS. Its common sense right? The Allies defeated the Germans in World War II, and Vietnamese Insurgents defeated two of these Allied nations, France and America in the Cold War. The SS may have better logistics but the Viet Cong are carrying the more advanced weaponry (mostly the AK, the light machine and the RPG).

it also doesnt help that the SS, and mostly the German Army, had a so-so success when it came to anti-insurgency. While they did have success in Poland and in their own Fatherland, they particularly fail in tying to destroy resistance in France, Croatia, Greece, Balkans, and many parts of Eastern Europe. One SS division, the Das Reich, only had one strategy in quelling French resistance and that’s by killing. And even in that they failed since those they killed were civilians, and not the guerillas they were hunting down, not to mention that it only made the French even more pissed.

However, the Viet Cong themselves have a military career thats a bit bloated. They did their fair share in Vietnam, but most of the time they always get their asses kicked. To say that it was because of them why America lost (like what Deadliest Warrior portrayed) is very very wrong. They got wiped out during the Tet Offensive, years before the War actually ended. It was the NVA, the Nangs, not the Charlies, who won the Vietnam War.

Eveb if the VC had the advantage in terrain and weapons, they proved to function even worse than the Nazi Waffen SS. Im going to end this vote by saying the Nazi SS would win but only slightly.
