How about the battle of Dien Bien Phu
And especially the role of the paratroopers of the Foreign Legion.
The para regiments: 1e Régiment Étranger de Parachutistes, (1e REP)
and 2e Régiment Étranger de Parachutistes, (2e REP)
saw some of the fiercest fighting ever, under absolute hopeless conditions…

But compared to the third battle @ Yper / Paschendale nothing comes close!

(2e REP) @ Dien Bien Phu
