Agree. Not really the “French Army tradition” (Legion or not). Don't really understand either the objective of such show... Certainly not improving physical condition. If “our man in Nîmes” (aka Le Petit Caporal) has some information... Please pass it on.Looks great but sounds very American... (...)
Well... Maybe for Recruiting out there in the Public eye. Gets all the young dudes all fired up…Agree. Not really the “French Army tradition” (Legion or not).

This is the Cavalry regiment song.Heard a slightly more ‘modern’ version of this and was sung faster. This i think is the Old School Version. Very haunting melodies.
Yes, I know... Sorry but i like it.This is the Cavalry regiment song.
I like the Songs...well as i speak German i could sing this… sorry another Cavalry song. I like the Traditions of the Legion.All our songs are slow tempo adapted to our marching pace
Some songs, like the Boudin are sung static (for the Boudin, always at attention)
We have also bivouac songs, sung around the camp fire. ..Monica springs to mind....should of added, usually with a bottle of Kronenbourg (paid by the caisse section. ..that's another story)
I'm not sure (Petit Caporal, please confirm) but I think that this was translated into French and is now sung in French.I like the Songs...well as i speak German i could sing this… sorry another Cavalry song. I like the Traditions of the Legion.
Yes, my wife's grandfather was in Stalingrad and he had a friend who visited him who was in the Legion. I never met him or my wife's grandfather but my father in law spoke about him when we drunk together.. .LOL He came always in uniform. I met my wife's grandmother though.I'm not sure (Petit Caporal, please confirm) but I think that this was translated into French and now sung in French.
Sexpert, a lot of the songs were sung in German because of the big German influence after WW2 (...)
A different time, recently managed to find my great uncles war grave in Belarus, 2nd Falschirmjäger Division.Yes, my wife's grandfather was in Stalingrad and he had a friend who visited him who was in the Legion.

Yes, maybe. On the other hand the Legion, throughout its history, has always managed to incorporate elements of foreign military traditions and adapt them its own way, the best known example being the songs brought by the post-WW2 German recruits, translated to French and sung at the Legion pace.Well...

Yes they did/do. I am sure they will learn Russian songs as there is so many in their ranks now..!Yes, maybe.
