Happy Birthday Norodom Sihanouk (1922-2022) - Auslandsbüro Kambodscha
Ausstellung
Details
With the King back from France in the capital 1953, a now-famous exchange between Sihanouk and General de Langlade took place.
"Sire, you have whipped me," the general said to Sihanouk during the course of his final courtesy call. "But no, General," Sihanouk replied, "I have followed as best I can the excellent tactics you taught me at Saumur. I have just behaved as a pupil worthy of General de Langlade."
When some of de Langlade's officers had suggested that Sihanouk was a "madman", the general replied,
"Gentleman, the King is mad, but he is a madman of genius!"
