about

(Vidal-Naquet, 2001, p. 35)
In the aftermath of World War 2, "for one man killed, they burn eight villages [...]
In Indochina, the French army behaves as the Germans did at home"(Henri Martin, 1946)
In this excerpt, Jacques ChÈgaray explains the logic of the officers. The violence of the Viet-Minh, which won fame in Hanoi in 1946, justifies in their view the use of every means and of the worst methods.
In this context, the Geneva Conventions are no longer respected by the French army. Tit-for-tat.

lyrics

In a war like this, no sentimentality. ”Are these processes worthy of a civilized nation”
Come on boys, show me what you got.
The torture they inflict on our people is 20 times more cruel. Tit for tat!
Dead bodies on butcher's hooks : Napalm illuminates. ”Burnt stains where nothing burns, or even nothing smokes”.
In Hanoi, December 46, cut up french children. In Hanoi, December 46, split in two women. In Hanoi, December 46, burned alive old men.
Dead bodies on butcher's hooks : Napalm illuminates. ”Burnt stains where nothing burns, or even nothing smokes”. From January 51 to May 54. ”Everything is kindled, licked by a tongue of fire”.
In the end: Dynamo isn't that much
In Hanoi, December 46, cut up french children. In Hanoi, December 46, split in two women. In Hanoi, December 46, burned alive old men.
