Went to visit the Legion in Aubagne in about 1977, as a US Army lieutenant, with a pal. First legionnaire I met was ex-82nd Airborne - he spotted us in the parking lot. Got to meet the Colonel in command of the 1st Infantry Regiment, and have lunch with he and his officers. He recognized our division patch and regimental crest. One of his officers was a Vietnamese Major, who started soldiering with French forces towards the end of their IndoChina war. The Colonel had a Captain take us through the Legion Museum, where we saw the wooden hand of Captain Danjou, and the tattered flag of, if I recall correctly, the 13th Demi-Brigade, among other Legion treasures. A most excellent memory!
I'm 29 years old. I joined the Legion when I was 23 and did 5 years of service. I almost wanted to sign up to stay. but i changed my mind, married a girlfriend, and started a family. I really miss the Legion, but I need to look further in life, and leave the Legion behind. I was proud to be part of the Legion. Its hard, but I will never forget my comrades...

Some Guy that's Why !?!?!? Read the comment by gr1mOT above. To sum it up, go straight to Aubagne instead of Paris as you will cut down on a lot of waiting, and don't go in the colder seasons as the training is tougher due to the cold weather.
perhaps, but does it count toward my pension if i do, i mean in my country, i heard you have to serve 17+ years to get any pension for it, and even if a little i do want to be certain that i don't fuck myself over when it comes to my future

Made it to the gestapo interview stage never got in. It was gut-wrenching at the time, but maybe it was for the best. I always wonder what my life would have been like if I got in. Long live the legion.
@George Edward they didn't give a reason they never do through each stage of selection. One group just gets separated from the other, and they get told to go home they give you your personal belongings back, and I think 60 euro I got 😂
I'm retired US Navy, almost 50 years old now, but I have a question. When a man makes the decision to join the Legion, does he just show up at the door and say, "I want to join" or is he recruited like we are here in the US?
@@jefflanduyt6750 Back when I was considering joining you just turned up to one of the various depots and would then go through some initial grading, including whether or not you could speak French (non-French speakers would be grouped together) and it would go from there. The Legion had a reputation of taking just about anyone, but from what I can gather (a Scottish friend of a friend did his five years) that was far from the truth and selection was just as rigorous as any other military organisation.
I served in the REP for my 5 year contract,i left in 1982,if you want some insight look at a film called the deserter,i had the privalige of meeting Simon Murray when i was in training in castelnaudry.
You are correct except for the dating, they expanded their culture in the 1880s. If you are still alive and able to read this, check out what happened to german legionaries in ww1 and ww2 its very interesting.

@@Uttis @Kennet R i was in the marines and now i want to join the legion becauase i finished my enlistment and have my dd214 apparently the legion is a good choice for young guys like myself who want to be mercenaries in the future. I am 24 now and was thinking of either the YPG in iraq/syria or 6 years in the FFL which is what i am going to choose now. What nation are you from? I am USA and leaving forn FFL selections in late july i saved 3000 dollars up for the trip.
@@Uttis thank you brother! May i ask your age and what position in the legion you plan to take? I plan on being placed in a combat unit hopefully. I did not see combat when i was in the marines when i joined at 20. I wanted to irignally join at 18 but had also life things and a girl i was in love with who gave me a beautiful daughter. Now they both are in japan her mother and i seperated and moved with her back to her home country. I visit them in the summer and come back to usa to work during the rest of the year. Now i plan on join the FFL and since i am single nothing hold me back. I hope after the lengthy training i am put into combat unit wherever i am need i want to gain the experience in battle and am eager but not gung ho as they say. I am humble and quiet person but i am also determined and can work with peers well. I display leadership characteristics but also follow commands good. I hope the FFL uses me if not i will try peshmerga and YPg. I eventually want to be a mercenary who fights all over the world . i believe in serving and i dont fight for nations i fight for my brothers beside me. I fight to complete the mission i do not care about politics.

@@odanne29 I guess we are all Legionares in our hearts... I turned 30 this year. It's now or never. As soon as they open up the International flights, I'm off...
Sound like "Panzerlied". Because number of feldgrauen (Waffen SS around 10% of feldgrauen coming on Légion) enter in the Legion after the War. In fact, in the long of the history of the Legion the most nationality of légionnaire is german 200 000 men. Frenchs is numbered around 50 000, but the frenchs going, of course, in the french army.
SS members were never allowed to serve in the legion. How to check that? Every Waffen SS member had a tattoo, so it was easy to single them out. Most Waffen SS guys ended up in South America (Chile,Bolivia) Rhodesia or South Africa instead where they were accepted.
This a German song but with tench text 🤣 when this chant was adopted everybody was speaking German. The original song is " dss geysers schwarzer Haufen"
Es ist tatsächlich das höchst ausbündige Panzerlied, in welches übrigens Silbe für Silbe "Mercedes Benz" von Janis Choplin hineinpasst. Ich habe es damals bei der Bundeswehr, natürlich unerlaubt und unbemerkt, so gesungen und damit die um mich herumstehenden Kameraden gänzlich drausgebracht. Der Hauptmann war deshalb der Verzweiflung nahe, er wäre so gerne Berufssoldat geworden und wollte beim Gelöbnis etwas vorweisen und die Nachbarkompanie hat so schön mehrstimmig gesungen.
After graduating from college with a BA in History, I had originally planned to serve in the USAF as pilot/historian, but my Asperger’s and anxiety kept me out (even though I passed my physical and scored high on the ASVAB). I’ve always considered the Foreign Legion, though, and thought about giving it a shot. Any chance they might take me despite my previous rejection?
La légion étrangère a été crée en 1831.. plus de 100 ans avant la guerre..." La légion a été construite en grande partie par des Allemands" ...tu racontes n importe quoi mon pauvre ami ..
@@mickael2501 oui elle s est mélangée à un moment donné, mais pas du tout " construite". Même mélange c un bien grand mot. Après la guerre des allemands ont intégré, c tout. En terme de nombre c est pas du tout comme les pays de l est où même d Amérique sud plus récemment
cause many german soliders had left the army and go to the legion thats why on many songs that they learn on the legion they are german melodies or thinks like that ( bear gryli ) this dude make docimanters and he do one about the legion as a volunteer with 11 other ppl and in one of this videos they say that so feel free to check bro
i am always willing to admit when i was wrong. i watched the escape to the legion on here and bear did say any one could join. i don't know how anyone could make it in the heat.
what happened was that many german soldiers fled and joined the french foreign legion to change their identity. They brought their culture (and songs) with them. That is why many of their chants are similar to those of the nazis.

La rue appartient à celui qui y descend
La rue appartient au drapeau des képis blancs
Autour de nous la haine Autour de nous les dogmes que l’on abat
Foulant la boue sombre Vont les Képis blancs.
Combien sont tombés au hasard d’un clair matin
De nos camarades qui souriaient au destin
Nous tomberons en route Nous tomberons ou vaincrons au combat
Foulant la boue sombre Vont les Képis blancs.
La vie ne sourit qu’aux plus forts, aux plus vaillants
L’ardeur, la fierté, la jeunesse sont dans nos rangs,
Pour nos combats, nos luttes Honneur, Fidélité sur nos drapeaux
Foulant la boue sombre Vont les Képis blancs.
spent 5 years with the legion came out a man and better person hell of an experience everyone should definitely have a crack at the legion
WOOOooow, you were able to enlist.
Jose Cervantes can you tell me how to enlist please?
Some Guy that's Why !?!?!? Read the comment by gr1mOT above. To sum it up, go straight to Aubagne instead of Paris as you will cut down on a lot of waiting, and don't go in the colder seasons as the training is tougher due to the cold weather.
doesn't it cost your own money to get there and your own money to get back if you don't qualify to be one?
perhaps, but does it count toward my pension if i do, i mean in my country, i heard you have to serve 17+ years to get any pension for it, and even if a little i do want to be certain that i don't fuck myself over when it comes to my future

Here in Brazil, our tank song is also the Panzerlied, the same in Chile and Austria. And, of course, in the Legion and in Germany.
I believe Germany banned Panzerlied. I believe the legion and Austrian army only uses panzerlied
@@naniamidoinghere134 Not sung anymore, but not illegal in Germany. It was a Wehrmacht song, not NS or SS song.
Some Americans also sing it.

Since we must live and struggle in pain
The day has come when we will impose on the forehead
The strength of our souls, the strength of our hearts and our arms
Trampling the dark mud, the caps are white
II
The street belongs to him who descends
The streets belong to the flag of white caps
Around us the hatred around us dogmas the slaughter
Trampling the dark mud, the caps are white
III
How many have fallen by chance in a clear morning
Our comrades who smiled at destiny
We will fall on the road, we will fall or conquer in battle
Trampling the dark mud, the caps are white
IV
Life smiles only the strongest, the most valiant
The enthusiasm, pride, youth are in our ranks
For our struggles, our struggles, Honor, Loyalty on our flags
Trampling the dark mud, the caps are white
Thank you for the English translation.

Le kepi blanc (the white hat) has been a trademark of la Legion etranger for decades!
Many German armymen went to the French legion after WW2, and expanded their ''culture''.
This song is not nazi by the way.
Yes, Panzerleid was Erwin Rommel's favorite. A professional soldier by any measure.
Actually they were put on road duty.
many of the germans who fought with the legion estranger perished in vietnam , or as the colonial described the conflict indo china ,
Why would you even fucking say that then?

OK, this sounds as Panzerlied song, music of course... which one took the melody from the other...?
A large part of the French Foreign Legion was built of German Army run a ways after WW2 and that's where they got most of their songs

where did you get that info. from what i've been told the ss was not welcome anywhere after ww2
This song reminds me a lot of the panzerlied. Why are they so similar in melody?
No clue what they're saying, but I'm humming along. It may be the same melody as Panzerleid, but I like this better.

Dieselbe Melodie wie der Panzerlied.

Yup, I hate that too ;)

what happened was that many german soldiers fled and joined the french foreign legion to change their identity. They brought their culture (and songs) with them. That is why many of their chants are similar to those of the nazis.
