Enjoy this nice march Légion Étrangère - Le Diable marche avec nous - Full HD - YouTube You can trace it to another Legion.The Kondor sort of Legion
But,before everyone jumps around,the LE is a sort of mirror for every problem in Europe.After WW1 it was filled with Russians,the good sort.After WW2 it was the turn of the Germans.After 1956 it was an increase of Hungarians and after 1989 there was a plethora of Romanians,Russians and other Easterners.
In the 70's and 80's there were lots of Yugoslavs.These guys promptly deserted when the war started at home.Plenty reached proeminent positions in the Croatian and Serbian armies.Thus,you have Legion traditions in these armies.
What comes around,goes around.
