  They don’t croak anyway - winter. The Lithuanians cheated and invited the French in the winter, when the frogs sniff under a layer of ice.

      They do what they are ordered to do. But who ordered it - and what they have in mind, a question — don’t think. Are you "there" behind the hill everything is so stupid and they send 300 Spartans just for nothing, with nothing to do ..?

It also includes Belgians, Croats, Luxembourgers, Dutch and Norwegians
Each creature in pairs. Now they were also diluted with the French. The Lithuanians take out national clothes from the chests and are preparing to meet with the hot French guys, whose great-grandfathers also tried to fight with Russia at the time and were killed a little south-west of Lithuania.

  Not a topic, but still: in our country in western Belarus during the war of 1812, the French lodged in villages and villages, hence the French surnames are not rare among the inhabitants there. My ex-wife has a surname - Shavel, her mother's girlhood - Shako.

        the French invaded June 24, 1812, and already on November 29 he fled through the Berezina

        Oh, Sergey, it's a pity I can’t get to the document I personally saw that confirms the marriage. Who and what was registered there, so the groom was registered there as a soldier of the French army, I definitely won’t give the style - I saw this document once in 2007 ...

        Pavel, I don’t argue. I only say that he could not marry while standing. who would allow him? because they came as conquerors, what kind of marriages are there. and being a prisoner, please. and correctly he wrote who he is. he was a soldier of the french army

Are there many ethnic French in that company? Usually in such operations, usually the Foreign Legion is involved, and there can be anyone.
