It is not uncommon for armed forces to "borrow" mannerism, marching songs and clothing. It can be a sign of respect for a tough foe, or also to show one has bested them. Modern anthropoly has numerous examples of this kind of warrior code. In simpler terms if Kim Kardashian would wear a fez, half of the world's youth would copyright her imediatly! 😄
There was a lot of Germans signing up after WWII they had nowhere to go and were very experienced soldiers. It is common for people in similar situations who join up coming from a place where there has been war. Germans bring the song and the tune is adopted. Some songs were even sung in German.
After WW II many former German soldiers joined the French Forgien Legion. They brought with them many of those marching songs.
The tune they are singing sounds like version of the German "Panzerlied"
Peter Tuffley it'is lot of songs of the légion belong from the 3 Reich
l'adieu du 1 REC a la ville d'Orange !
They walk as if wading through the desert sand.
First in last out always .
Why are they cutting out and not singing the whole song? For example
"Au drapeau de kepi blanc"
But they're saying
"Au drapeau de kepi --"
Kepi Blanc.
That's damn close to the German Panzerlied.

Yeup, same tune different lyrics. The FFL will adopt any decent marching song.
