Indochina War: the Battle for Tonkin - ECPAD
updated
Extracted from the movie “Novembre”, realized by Cédric Jimenez, produced by Chi-Fou-Mi Productions, France 2 Cinéma, Studiocanal. Released in October 2022.
The French Armed Forces were involved in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2014 (combat missions ended in 2012). Over 70,000 French soldiers, gendarmes, sailors and airmen served in this country, alongside our NATO allies and the Afghan National Army.
I take the opportunity of an incident which happened in the north of Paris region on May 14, 2021 to pay tribute to our law enforcement forces, both Gendarmes and Policemen. For one year, since the death of George Floyd, some political groups have tried to replicate in France the current social upheaval occurring in the United States of America. This political maneuver is poorly received among the French population as recent polls suggest that a vast majority of the French supports their Police/Gendarmerie and condemns the lack of severity in penal sentences, in the context of an explosion of delinquency and criminality in our country.
At least, this has opened in our Western societies the debate on the legitimate use of violence by a public force. In my personal views, the common good must always be considered a priority against individualistic demands (like when some minority groups request not to obey public rules just to follow their personal beliefs). However, I also believe that the public force must act responsibly and with humanity each time it is possible. The killing of unarmed civilians by a public force is something which should never happen in our developed societies. In this video, these Gendarmes have been showing an admirable amount of courage, of discipline and of efficiency by capturing alive a woman with seemingly psychiatric disorder and strolling around with a rifle. Despite the threat and the stress of such unstable situation, they have shown great control and humanity in front of a woman needing help, first of all. This video means to remind this : everyday, similar situations happen. Our Gendarmes and Policemen, men and women, serve us every day, every night, facing misery, madness and brutality. Sometimes, we hear about failures and journalists or “experts” are commenting on and on but none of them ever faced the reality of the job. And whatever the political activists are saying, we need public safety more than we need these activists.

Opération Barkhane is a French-led operation taking place in Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad. These countries have gathered in the G5 Sahel to coordinate their efforts against terrorist groups. Opération Barkhane was launched on August 1, 2014 and has been tasked with fighting islamist insurgency in Sahel region, after the victorious French-Malian offensive to recapture Northern Mali from these groups.

From June 7 to June 19, 2019, French troops of Opération Barkhane led the operation “Aconit” at the Mali-Niger border. They were alongside Malian and Niger troops and were supported by US (unspecified, most likely intelligence) and British (logistical) forces. According to the French Ministry of the Armies, this operation was launched at the request of Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou after the ambush of Baley Beri which had claimed the lives of 27 Niger soldiers on May 14, 2019.
If the operation did not bring specific results in Niger (shown in this video), the outcome in Mali was more significant : around 20 jihadists were killed, five more were captured. Weapons, ammunitions, motorbikes, communication devices were also seized.
3 French soldiers were wounded. A Gazelle helicopter was destroyed after being seriously damaged during combats.
Opération Barkhane is a French-led operation taking place in Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad.

This video is dedicated to the 31 French soldiers who died in Sahel since 2013. It is also dedicated to all those who were physically or psychologically wounded, to their comrades and to their families and relatives. It is also a tribute to US, British and Estonian troops who have been with us, also to the soldiers of the G5 Sahel and the MINUSMA who have lost a lot of troops recently in the fight against islamist insurgency.

So, if this video is what I think, it is an exceptionnal document. We know anyway for sure that French Special Forces have been fighting alongside the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against ISIS for two years at least. They are said to be currently near this last enclave of Baghuz Fawqani. They can count on French AirForce support (Operation Chammal) and from artillery support of three CAESAR which are located in Iraq (TaskForce Wagram).
After many years on YouTube and Liveleak, and a disappointing experience with Rutube, I have finally found the video-sharing platform I need. Its name is OK.RU.
OK.RU allows me to share all videos, with satisfying quality, no restricted amount of time (unlike Liveleak) and above all, no censorship (the main issue with YouTube, and more recently with Liveleak too). I have already shared on it all my videos, including all those who were censored by YouTube.
Obviously, I will keep on sharing videos on YouTube as it is the most visited website but from now on, you know you can have access to all my videos on OK.RU.

***Texte en Français***
Après plusieurs années sur YouTube et Liveleak, et une expérience décevante sur Rutube, j’ai finalement trouvé la plateforme vidéo dont j’avais besoin. Il s’agit de OK.RU.
OK.RU me permet de partager toutes mes vidéos, avec une qualité d’image satisfaisante, sans limite dans la durée des vidéos (contrairement à Liveleak) et surtout, sans censure (le point noir sur YouTube, et depuis récemment aussi sur Liveleak). J’ai déjà mis en ligne dessus toutes mes vidéos, en particulier celles qui ont été censurées partiellement ou totalement sur YouTube.
Bien entendu, je continuerai de partager les vidéos sur YouTube puisque elle reste la plateforme la plus consultée mais désormais, vous savez que vous pouvez accéder à toutes mes vidéos sur OK.RU.
Liste complète de mes vidéos
https://ok.ru/profile/572508342117/video/
(Pour les vidéos censurées sur YouTube, vous avez la liste au-dessus)
Pour les Francophones, je vais également mettre toute une série de films et de documentaires sur l’Histoire militaire (essentiellement celle de la France), dont les films de Pierre Schoendoerffer et d’autres, que j’ai pu collecter depuis près de dix ans. Il faudra que vous alliez consulter ma page régulièrement !
In the same time, I have always supported French soldiers, sailors and airmen as I consider that they are serving us but they can never choose their missions and that I should support them, no matter my political feelings. It happened many times that I shared or promoted videos on our soldiers’ missions although I disagree with France’s military involvement in these conflicts (for example in Former Yugoslavia, in Libya or the Central African Republic).
But an objective consideration on the situation in Syria leaves me no choice. I believe that the US, UK and France are not working for the best of their national interests and are not properly doing in the fight against Islamic terrorism in this region. I do not believe their storyline about Syria, Russia, chemical attacks and other news and I have no sympathy for Syrian “moderate rebels” (who are the most often actually related to Al Qaeda or other “democracy-loving” salafist groups…).
Consequently, I announce the following:
- I will not make or promote any video about French involvement in Iraq/Syria except if operations only against terrorist groups (notably ISIS).
- If you are waiting for some “Russia, be warned” stupid videos from me, you will wait for a long long time.
- I can just wait and hope for better relationships and cooperation between Russia and France, and with other Western partners. In the current situation, I believe that Russia, the Syrian Arab Republic led by President Bashar al-Assad and Iran should get more support from us than the insults and aggressive rhetoric that our political elites have developed for years in vain.
Une courte vidéo sur le long et glorieux passé de notre histoire militaire pour vous remercier tous pour votre magnifique soutien dans ma lutte contre le « french bashing » et contre l’ignorance. Depuis dix ans, j’ai souhaité vous montrer des contenus originaux sur nos soldats en opérations, ou des documentaires sur nos guerres passées à travers l’Histoire. Mon but a toujours été de promouvoir nos soldats de toutes les époques et je continuerai même si je ne profite plus d’autant de temps libre qu’avant pour cette passion. Tout mon travail est bénévole et je vous suis reconnaissant pour votre soutien et vos encouragements. Je souhaite notamment remercier Le Cajun pour son amitié depuis toutes ces années où j’ai eu le grand plaisir de faire les traductions de ses vidéos, remercier mes amis de France, des Etats-Unis (Joe, Eric,…) et d’ailleurs. Ma prochaine vidéo sera un travail collaboratif pour vous parler d’une bataille que vous ne connaissez probablement pas, un superbe combat français en Afrique de notre passé récent.

Here are some actual footages of the French Army fighting in France in June 1940 (Fall Rot), after the evacuation of Dunkirk. And also combats in Norway in May 1940. Truth must be told and shown about the actual contribution of French military and Free French Forces/French Resistance in WW2, and we shall not accept that our grand-fathers be forgotten or grossly ignored. My statement is also made for WW1 after the ignominious "Battlefield 1" video game where the French Army was given a secondary DLC version despite its massive and decisive role in Allied victory in 1918.

Some quotes :
“The lengthened defense of the French garrison played a major role in the re-establishment of the British troops in Egypt. The Free French gravely disrupted, from the beginning, Rommel's offensive, resulting on a disturbed supply line of the Afrika Korps. The growing Axis troop concentration in the sector, needed to subjugate the fort, saved the British 8th Army from a disaster. The delays in the offensive caused by the relentless French resistance increased the British chances of success and eased the preparation of the counter-offensive. On long term, holding back Rommel allowed the British forces to escape from its meticulously planned annihilation. That's why we can say, without exaggerating, that Bir Hakeim greatly contributed to El-Alamein defensive success."
— I. S. O. Playfair (British General and Historian)
"The United Nations need to be filled with admiration and gratitude in respect of these French troops and their brave General Kœnig"
- General Claude Auchinleck, Commander in Chief of Middle East Command
"In the whole course of the desert war, we never encountered a more heroic and well-sustained defense"
- Generalmajor Friedrich von Mellenthin
"Once again, this is evidence that a French commander, determined not to throw his gun away at the first opening, can work miracles even if the situation seems desperate”.
- Erwin Rommel
“Holding back for fifteen days Rommel's offensive, the Free French of Bir Hakeim had contributed to save Egypt and Suez canal's destinies."
- Winston Churchill
Adolf Hitler to the journalist Lutz Koch : "You have heard, gentlemen, what Koch recounts. It is a new proof of the thesis I've always supported; namely, that French are still, after us, the best soldiers in Europe. France will always have the possibility, even with its current birthrate, to raise a hundred divisions. We will definitely, after this war, have to set up a coalition able to military control a country capable of such impressive military feats." Source : Lutz Koch, “Rommel”, editor Plon, 1950.
As a consequence, the Führer gave the order to execute the Free French prisoners, an order that Rommel refused to carry out. Anecdotally, Rommel, impressed by the French resistance, and understanding that the prisoners suffered of thirst, ordered that French prisoners and Axis soldiers would receive the same water ration. It matched Benito Mussolini's will, whose orders to its troops were to treat particularly well the French prisoners.
De Gaulle to Koenig: "Hear and tell your troops: the whole of France is watching you, you are our pride."

The French Battalion left Korea with five French Citations to the Order of the Army; the French Fourragère in the colors of the Military Medal; two Korean Presidential Citations; and three American Distinguished Unit Citations. It was one of the most famous units of the United Nations forces in Korea. In an address to a joint session of the United States Congress in May 1952, General Ridgway said the following:
"I shall speak briefly of the 23rd US Infantry Regiment, Colonel Paul L. Freeman commanding, [and] with the French Battalion... Isolated far in advance of the general battle line, completely surrounded in near-zero weather, they repelled repeated assaults by day and night by vastly superior numbers of Chinese. They were finally relieved... I want to say that these American fighting men, with their French comrades-in-arms, measured up in every way to the battle conduct of the finest troops America and France have produced throughout their national existence."
One member of the French Battalion, Louis Misseri, was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the United States for his actions. His citation reads:
"The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Louis Misseri, Sergeant, Army of France, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving with the Third Company, French Battalion, attached to the 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division (United States), in action against enemy forces at Pia-ri, Korea on September 26, 1951. As a squad leader in an attack on "Heartbreak Ridge," Sergeant Misseri led his squad through an intense barrage of enemy mortar and artillery fire to the slope on which enemy bunkers were located. Dividing his squad into two sections, he personally led one section of three men in an assault upon the bunkers. While his comrades covered his advance, he moved forward alone through a hail of fire, attacked the first bunker, and silenced it. He continued his assault until the way had been cleared for his squad to advance and reorganize. When the enemy launched a counterattack, Sergeant Misseri, although seriously wounded, drove them back, inflicting fifteen casualties with his rifle. When this position became untenable and he was ordered to withdraw, he sent his men back one by one while he covered their withdrawal. The last man to leave the hill, except for one other who helped him because of his wounded condition, he would not allow himself to be evacuated until he had made a complete report of his mission. One of the very few men to reach the top of "Heartbreak Ridge" during this costly attack, Sergeant Misseri's gallantry and extraordinary devotion to duty reflect the highest credit on him and uphold the finest traditions of the Army and the Republic of France."
The commander of the 23rd US Infantry Regiment said of the French Contingent:
"When you order them [the French] in defence, you're sure they'll hold the position. When you show them a hill to be seized, you're sure they'll manage to get atop. You may leave for two days, storms of shells and waves of enemies may swarm over them, the French are still there!"

Reminder :
The French Battalion was the UN contingent from France sent for the defense of South Korea during the war in 1950-1953.

It is important to remember that our soldiers are also fighting terrorist forces in Africa. France is intervening in Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad. It also helps Nigeria in its fight against Boko Haram and our intelligence services are operating in Libya to repulse islamist forces, including ISIS.

This is an excellent documentary released in September 2015 (after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, but before the 13th November Paris attacks). Only the original French title is stupid as these guys are certainly not mercenaries. Kurds do not pay them and it is oxymoron to call them both mercenaries and idealists.
This documentary is a tribute to Heval Agir, a U.S. national fighting for YPG who was killed this month in Manbij and to the three French servicemen of our external intelligence service (DGSE) killed in Libya over Benghazi this month too. War against ISIS is not only about Syria.

A 2004 French TV documentary on the events of 1944 seen by the French. Occupation, collaboration, French SS, Resistance, De Gaulle's tensions with the Allies' leaders, the invasion of France, Liberation, purge of traitors, the political struggles in the liberated territories, this movie encompasses all the topics in a generally objective view, although I might disagree with some points. Still, I find it interesting enough to take the time of the translation and to share it with you. Enjoy and please, write a comment.

French Marine Troops (3e RIMa and 21e RIMa) and Chasseurs Alpins (13e BCA).
This is the same firefight that the previous video but taken from support units. An interesting video showing how real war sounds like, far from movies and computer games !
On March 5, 2010, elements of French 13th Chasseurs Alpins battalion (13e BCA) of the 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade are going back to their vehicles. As in many occasions, Talibans awaited for the departure of Western troops to attack. In perfect calmness and discipline, the French Chasseurs kept the Talibans at bay while getting back to their VABs (armoured personnel carrier vehicles). On the surrounding hilltops, support units open fire to protect the Chasseurs.

Hommage aux soldats Français de cette époque qui payèrent de leur sang la résurrection de l'honneur des Armées Françaises ! Gloire aux Français Libres, aux hommes de l'Armée d'Afrique, aux troupes coloniales de l'Empire ! Qu'ils ne soient plus oubliés ni ignorés !

French forces in Afghanistan participated in the War in Afghanistan from late 2001 to December 2014. They operated within two distinct frameworks:
- the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), carried out by NATO on a United Nations mandate
- "Operation Enduring Freedom", under US command, as part of the War on Terror.
French forces contributed to both chapters in several national operations:
- Opération Pamir with the ISAF,
- Opération Héraklès for the naval and air components,
- Opération Épidote for training of the Afghan Army,
- Opération Arès for special operations within "Operation Enduring Freedom".
All in all, around 70,000 soldiers fought in this country. We should not forget the airmen, the navy (contributing through its Fleet Air Arm and its special forces) and the National Gendarmerie (training the Afghan National Police and special operations with GIGN).
Mali (Operation Serval), then all of Sahara and Sahel (Operation Barkhane), along a tactical support to African operations against Boko Haram in Nigeria, France is fighting against Al Qaeda and its allies on a theater of war which defies imagination, larger than Europe. Thanks to the journalists of France 24, let's watch this documentary on this long, difficult but much needed effort against an elusive enemy.
To Thomas Dupuy, Samir Bajja, Jean-Luc Ronis and Baptiste Truffaux who died for France in this operation so far.
This video is just a tribute to the Leclerc tank, nothing more. I have no support for this war or for any belligerent, I know little of this conflict and of Yemen.
Mali, 11 January 2013. At the request of Malian authorities and the UN, France launched what would become the largest operation outside the coalition since the end of the war in Algeria. Named after the small African wild cat of the Sahel region, Operation Serval deployed more than 4,500 men and women. Their mission: to put a stop to terrorist-led attacks, restore Mali’s territorial integrity and protect some 5,000 French nationals. Operation Serval was a tremendous air-land campaign, a huge logistical challenge and an incredible joint forces manoeuvre. Join us as we look back at the campaign with land forces and the Serval Brigade, armed with the 3rd Mechanised Brigade, the “Monsabert Brigade”. Its motto: “A single goal : Victory”.

All in all, 70,000 French troops participated in the Afghanistan War. 89 dead (a 90th in Tajikistan), 700+ wounded.
To Thomas Dupuy and Samir Bajja who died for France in this operation so far.
Tiger Helicopter supporting French troops in Tigharghar (Adrar des Ifoghas, Northern Mali) during an operation which found several weapons caches for jihadists which were destroyed.
Then, the new NH90 TTH (NHIndustries) which is named Caïman in France, flying in Adrar des Ifoghas and taking back some GCP commandos (Groupement des Commandos Parachutistes) from the 11th Parachute Brigade.
Operation Barkhane is a French-led operation taking place in Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad and probably in Southern Libya. It was launched on August 1, 2014 and has been tasked with fighting islamist insurgency in Sahel region. For some weeks, a small detachment is also helping African nations to coordinate their offensive against Boko Haram in Nigeria.
