The Marseillais rushed in, fraternized with the gunners of the National Guard, reached the vestibule, ascended the grand staircase, and called on the Swiss Guard to surrender. "Surrender to the Nation!", shouted Westermann in German. "We should think ourselves dishonored!" was the reply. "We are Swiss, the Swiss do not part with their arms but with their lives. We think that we do not merit such an insult. If the regiment is no longer wanted, let it be legally discharged. But we will not leave our post, nor will we let our arms be taken from us."
I am swiss and going to join the pontifical swiss guard. If you think they are just a ceremonial guard you couldn’t be more wrong. They are well trained, armed with the best that weapon industry has to offer and are determined to give everything, even their lifes, for those who entrusted them with their safety! With the traditional loyalty and fighting spirit of our people! Vive le roi! Vive l'église catholique!

Elite troops generally live for this sort of moment, that one time they could distinguish themselves so singularly in the pages of history. The Swiss were mercenaries of world reknown throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, they lived for the fight but seldom cared under which flag it came.
One of the most surreal moments of my recent years was being down in the catacombs of Paris and seeing the skulls and bones of the Loyal Swiss Guards who perished defending the Tuileries Palace in August of 1792! I went so far as to touch a few of the human remains which filled me with an unusual physical connection to history: This was a person who was actually at the Tuileries Palace when it was attacked by the Paris mob on August 10, 1792! Surreal!
Honneur aux Suisses, qui ont su défendre la France et le Roi mieux que les Français durant la Révolution. Que leur sacrifice ne soit jamais oublié ! Ils resteront un des corps d'armée pour lequel j'ai le plus d'admiration !

well the one thing I will never understand in this moive is why the siwss guard sallied forth beyond the palace when they were out numbered more then 10 to 1. what logical sence was there for the guard to do that.
The guards are loyal. They made their last stand. If i am the commander of a regiment back then. I will remain loyal to the king or ruler i serve and fight to death. Even if it is a lost cause. Except only if the soldiers under me doesn't want to fight. So i have no choice.
Well we have to face the facts that each person or country has its own ambitions. As long as human beings exsist. There will be wars. It will never end.
vsovereign3 king Louis sent messege to the Swiss with orderder to surrender but message didn't come or come but too late. The Swiss Guard was the most faithfull royal formation and the general the Swiss had opinions "royal formation" so revolutionaries didn't trust them. I think the Swiss soldiers feared of disarmament ( as a last resort loss of life ) and their concers were not unreasonable. The great confusion, problem with communication, fear and honour so we have got a legend
Back then many Swiss made income by working as mercenaries. Over the time Swiss people has realized that mercenary works require trust, and so they began to stick loyal and faithful to their employers until the contract ended. The way they have thought (and they were right) was that if they were to run away in fear while still in contract, their descendants won’t be able to work as mercenaries anymore by future employers, and to gain the ultimate trust from their employers and future employers they sticked loyal to their employers no matter how harsh the conditions were.
As I see it the Swiss Guard didn't have any illusions about either Louis XVI. or the Jacobins. But what choices did they have anyway? To give a bit of added context, 9 days before this happened the Old Swiss Confederacy had its 501 anniversary. The perpetual peace treaty with Francis I. had been signed 276 years ago and the agreement had never been betrayed by either side. For 276 years the Swiss had been France's elite warrior class, nobody outranked them in prestige.
Vive la Nation, Vive la République une et indivisible ! Liberté, égalité, fraternité ! Plus jamais de dictature par des monarques absolutistes , égoïstes et indifférents aux souffrances de leur peuple ! Vive la révolution française !

What is this movie ???
*Honor et Fidelitas*
this movie is: La marseillaise

Are they right or wrong?
The Swiss Guards? They are right.
If one believes most situations in life are relative (to the first person observer) thereby subjective in nature , I suppose it depends on who you ask.
To be loyal and brave never is wrong
There is no right or wrong in history.
Hard to say. They gave a pledge, made a promise to the King of France, to fight for him loyally until discharged. They just kept their word.
What movie is this???
what movie is this from?
This scene is taking from a movie called " La Marseillaise" which was released in 1938 & directed by Jean Renoir.

Them sticking around probably made people think that the king is still there.
