He leido un informe que da cuenta de que el BIM-5 entro marchando en Puerto Argentino, y ante la "consternada" vista de los oficiales britanicos prendio fuego a sus estandartes, prefiriendo esto antes que rendirlos al enemigo. Quisiera conocer mas datos sobre esto. Les copio la cita y las referencias. La cita es de Alejandro Corbacho (Universidad del CEMA)
" The Argentine 5th Marines stayed together as a team and behaved cohesively, both before and after their surrender. According to Lieutenant-Colonel N. Vaux, the commanding officer of the 42nd Marine Commandos, the Argentine Marines marched smartly, holding their regimental colors high as they marched along the streets of Puerto Argentino. The British wanted to capture their regimental flag, but “to the Royal Marines’ chagrin, the Argentine Marines poured gasoline on their flags and burned them to ashes before the eyes of their enemies.” "
