In the 90's, the French started to wear CCE camouflage, which was of the same cut at the olive drab tenue F2. and half way the 90's the French started to wear in a desert environment, a desert camouflage uniform, nicknamed Daguet. And a nice touch, that you used this version of Le Boudin. and in my case, Vive la Legion.

My great grand father fought during the battle of France in 1940, he was in the tanks tho so he might have had a different uniform. But I'm so proud of that, he participated to one of the few wins that France got against Germany and fought side by side with De Gaulle, who was in the tanks too before becoming a general.

The Old Guard was useless during the retreat of La Grande Armee in Russia and the only soldiers able and disciplined enough to cover the retrat at the Beresina were the Swiss regiments, from 9'000 Swiss forced into Napoleons service only 300 returned home, Maréchal Ney knew that only with Swiss he could cover the retreat of la Grande Armée at the Beresina same as that since Francois 1er all French kings had their loyal Swiss regiments as body guards and also to guard the borders of France and do police work against bandits in the country-sid, the mosquetaires were truly only a wish-ful thinking by Alexandre Diumas, no French kign was crazy enough to trust French soldiers and during the wars against the Huguenots again the Regiments Suisses saved the French kings life.

@@jurgbangerter1023 Napoleon didn't trusted the Suisse enough. The Grand Armee only had Swiss Regiments because The Swiss at the time was the Helvetic Republic if I'm right still had very good fighters. Napoleon either forced them or mercenaries volunteered to fight for him in his campaigns. The Old Guard in the other hand was Napoleon's best men since they fought with him when he was still a young officer and Napoleon gained their respect and so did they. And of course as their name most of the men that make up the Old Guard were middle aged veterans they're now slower, and less energetic to say the least and The Middle Guard and Young Guard that make up the rest of the Imperial Guard were already fighting in the front lines to wish to be one day apart of the veterans. So yes the Old Guard may be useless in the retreat because their health was deteriorating as well as the rest of the army. Since they're old men they get tired more and walking for days in the harsh winter of Russia isn't a suitable place for a middle aged veteran carrying full gear with a heavy musket and an especially heavy bearskin not to mention when snow and rain got on their bearskins it would make it much heavier.

Actually, during WWII, Free French were equipped with what they had left of french uniforms and equipement, british and later also american gear. Free French units were equiped depending on where they were stationed but also on which allied army they were fighting along. French units incorporated in American units would receive American equipement and so on. In a nutshell, they used what ever they could get their hands on and fine tune it too their needs.

The roundels on the French WW1 aircraft at 8:15 are incorrectly British. The French used red on the outside and blue in the centre, like the tricolor cockades on hats during the French Revolution. The British initially put the Union Jack on their planes but stopped this practice by 1915 as they were being mistaken for the black Cross Pattée that the Germans used.

One thing about WWII and the French uniform was they also used a lot of American equipment. In the Osprey series the second booklet on French uniforms shows that they often mixed up whatever gear they could get. In the same book they show a French paratrooper who served in eastern France and his uniform and rifle are all American, only his patches distinguish as French. There is even a Willie and Joe comic that makes a comment about how the French were using mostly American equipment when Willie and Joe are with a girl among French soldiers all kitted out in American gear and their evading an American MP by saying "No parle Englis".

One small caviat I wanted to ad: the GIGN, although part of the Gendarmerie nationale (hence, part of the military) is used mainly if not exclusively as a policing and peacekeeping force inside of France's territory, and as such, is more akin to a police special force than a military unit; in the way the public sees it. Excellent video anyway.

The Old Guard's hat was later picked up by the British and turned their use to being part of what is now known as "the Queen's Guard"

Glorious!
