First collaboration with Georges Guillot. On this film, I was location recordist on Vietnam shooting. I used an Edirol R-4 with Wendt X2 preamp, HF Audio Limited microphones with Sanken COS11 capsules and a Neumann KM 185 for the boom. The atmos were recorded with an OKTAVA MK12 matched pair.

Synopsis

From D-Day (June 6, 1944), more than 200,000 German soldiers were captured. The film retraces and explains the detention of these Germans in camps on French soil, then, for some, their engagement in the French Foreign Legion to go and fight in Indochina and escape captivity. Today, 60 years after Dien Bien Phu, where many of their comrades were killed, former German legionnaires testify. Many experienced further captivity in Viet Minh camps.
