I wouldn't call the 3/3 and the 2 BEP "small contingents". There were two battalions of Germans at DBP. Some had fled east Germany, many were former Nazis or the younger ones, Hitler Youth. It is famous enough.

As for French torture practices, which were notorious among the paras in Algeria, when pressed on where they picked it up they said in Indochina. Some of their teachers were Viet Minh (the moral contagion of the war), and some had been at it rather longer than that.

In case it isn't obvious, the foreign legion is not a boy scout troop...

I knew you would fail to back it up. You cant back what you said, and still are unable to distinguish FFL from the reg French Army. Run along now.
