Marcel 'Bruno' Bigeard - a controversial but tough French officer. So much so, two characters were inspired - Pierre Raspeguy (Anthiny Quinn) in 'The Centurions' & Colonel Matthieu (Jean Martin) in the 'Battle of Algiers'

Uniquely, M24s could be transported by air.. albeit disassembled. At the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, the French airlifted 10 using Bristol Freighters & Dakotas, the tanks being re-assembled on the ground. All ten were eventually destroyed or captured by the Viet Minh.

@Jim_Bagnall One of my all-time favorite art deco buildings
All the French officers people think are cool from the era of decolonization deliberately cultivated that reputation. Bigeard, but also Galula and Trinquier. The fact that people still find them fascinating speaks more to these officers' skills as self-promoters than as soldiers
Did he do daring and gutsy things ar Dien Bien Phu? Certainly. Did he design a system to torture and disappear thousands of untried civilians in Algeria? Also certainly. "Controversial" does a lot of work here, to put it mildly
@dr_tgpeterson If anyone wants to know more about the narrative that he (and others) cultivated, I am pretty sure he shows up once or twice in Katie Edwards' excellent book, Contesting Indochina :) ucpress.edu/book/978052028…
Bigeard's a legend because he relentlessly cultivated that persona. He was also directly involved in torture + extrajudicial murder. He invented the practice of 'disappearing' folks by tossing them off helicopters into the ocean, cruelly nicknaming his victims 'Crevettes Bigeard'
Marcel 'Bruno' Bigeard - a controversial but tough French officer. So much so, two characters were inspired - Pierre Raspeguy (Anthiny Quinn) in 'The Centurions' & Colonel Matthieu (Jean Martin) in the 'Battle of Algiers'
There wasn't a police presence because the cops couldn't be in the parade while also guarding it.
