French-Indochina "La 317eme Section" - The 317 Platoon (1965)

Watched this a few months back via a digital copy (cant find the link/lost broken )- Black & White French with English Subtitles - interesting film with some great visuals/terrain ideas (block houses etc) great for small unit actions - apparently the director/producer was a POW post Dein Bin Phu - made the film with a crew of 6 in Cambodia in the wet season - less than a decade after the French withdrawal - Thought I might share as there doesn't seem to be that many films dealing with the French experience.

"In 1954, the Indochina War begins to come to a close following France's defeat by the Viet Minh at the deadly Battle of Dîen Bîen Phû. French forces are in full retreat and risk being overrun at every turn -- including the 317th Platoon, a unit of French soldiers and Laotian allies who are led by the idealistic but inexperienced sous-lieutenant Torrens and adjutant Willsdorf, a former soldier in the German Wehrmacht during WWII. Their survival depends on completing a trek through the dense, jungle-laden, expanse of enemy territory that stands between them and the safety of the nearest French outpost. —Dr. Jay Trotter"

This is a favourite - I'm pretty sure I have a link to it further down in this section somewhere...

I have it on DVD but it's been a long time since I watched it. The ending surprised me, thought it was quite good.
