Legion etrangere-Fremdenlegion-French Foreign Legion

[@andrewgiordano5275]

After WW II many former German soldiers joined the French Forgien Legion. They brought with them many of those marching songs.

[@petertuffley7475]

The tune they are singing sounds like version of the German "Panzerlied"

[@jordancambay8594]

First in last out always .

[@arcticchod5370]

Why are they cutting out and not singing the whole song? For example "Au drapeau de kepi blanc" But they're saying "Au drapeau de kepi --"

[@bengemeister]

That's damn close to the German Panzerlied.

[@oscarrehnberg3461]

It is not uncommon for armed forces to "borrow" mannerism, marching songs and clothing. It can be a sign of respect for a tough foe, or also to show one has bested them. Modern anthropoly has numerous examples of this kind of warrior code. In simpler terms if Kim Kardashian would wear a fez, half of the world's youth would copyright her imediatly! 😄

Yeup, same tune different lyrics. The FFL will adopt any decent marching song.

There was a lot of Germans signing up after WWII they had nowhere to go and were very experienced soldiers. It is common for people in similar situations who join up coming from a place where there has been war. Germans bring the song and the tune is adopted. Some songs were even sung in German.
