La única manera de destruir esa fuerza y allanar el camino a Marruecos para regalarle la provincia española del Sáhara era desde la política Española, la podredumbre y traicionera de los políticos no ha cambiado nada
Fascinating on so many levels. 1. Was this from Wickers World? 2. Very Rare footage of the Spanish Foreign Legion which still exists today. 3. The Marching at the end signifies they were light Infantry they are marching at the same pace as the British Regiment the Rifles.
@ Prince Peter : It has a similar feel to Whicker's World. but it is actually an ITN special report. They did a lot of this sort of thing at a late evening slot from the late 50s to the late 60s before channelling it into "News At Ten". The overall report was about Spain hanging on to its North African possessions such as Ceuta and Melilla inspite of a blockade by Morocco.
@@BicornioSPA The film is from 1966. Of course the name changed over time from Tercio de Extranjeros to Tercio de Marruecos and finally to Legion Espanola,/La Legion.
The legion exists in Spain since 1921, but the foreigners are only from South American countries with which Spain had a historical relationship, for the rest, they are all Spanish military. The legion is part of the Spanish Land Army, but it has its own idiosyncrasy, hymns , and way of acting that differentiate it from the rest of the Spanish army. It is organized into 4 Tercios (regiments). Third Great Captain, Third Duke of Alba, Tercio Alejandro Farnesio and Tercio Juan de Austria. famous at the time when the Spanish Tercios militarily dominated Europe, from 1496 to 1643. The Tercios were Spanish infantry regiments, considered the most disciplined and combative in Europe, and the Legion is considered their descendant.
The spanish Troops to protect the cities of Ceuta and Melilla and not to defend the KINGDOM of Morrocco as this misinformed reporter says ....even more to sorround Gibraltar from all sides should the need arise .
Simplemente extraordinario 👏👏👏 un gran honor de verlo en directo desde Inglaterra...una gran afinidad por este cuerpo militar...[...] un saludo compatriotas...👏🇪🇸🇬🇧
@@josepmoron5213 Por favor, disculpe mi Español. Yo nací en Sevilla de una madre Española y un padre estadounidense.

Pero, cuando es la hora de pelear, es algo completamente diferente. Mi madre era una sobrina del fundador de La Legion, Jose Millán Astray. Yo soy muy orgulloso de el y tambien de La Legion.

Moroccans played a big role in Franco's victory.

ESO ERA LEGION NO LA BASURA DE AHORA
La legion es la legion, no insultes, a la legion española, es la legion, no lo olvides.
Esa si era la verdadera legión . Ahora están más en el gimnasio y la esteticista q currando .
La Legión en la que serví en 1068, era diferente a la de ahora. Ni mejor ni peor, era otra cosa.
