The Legion Marches to the Front, French Military Song

That awkward moment when the former waffen ss and the Polish guy are fighting on the same side.

Fun fact: the most loyal troops to defend Hitler to the death in Berlin before the fall were the "SS Charlemagne division" the French SS (some escaped and became in command of the French foreing legion after the war, hence... this song...)

As traitors to their nation, they knew they were fucked once the third Reich would collapsed. Better to fight to death rather to be ashamed.

[@SOMUA99]

they have never been at the command of the FFL post-war. most of the French Waffen SS were shot at sight or sent to jail only a few went to the FFL in Indochina.

The song actually originates from a Condor Legion March in the Spanish Civil War.

The original was used by the German Condor Legion in Spain, and then got adopted by the SS

[@christophernicewonger2244]

Wasn't this an SS cadence?

[@arcticchod5370]

Yes. Many SS escaped to the legion to start a new life under a new name, knowing they'd be persecuted just for holding any title associated with "SS". They adapted some of their German songs to French, including this one and "Anne-Marie".
