: : Yes While Indy was in the Belgian, recruitment office he was asked his name, date of birth(which was fabricated as well,) and some other information. Because he was American he had to join incognito. Because he didn't have a prior nom de guerre he had to think one up on the spot!
: : The first thing he saw was a recruitment poster in French stating something to the effect of "defend Belgium" The French word Indy saw was défense, pronounced just like you spelled it above. The recruitment officer was a little skeptical about this and even turned to take a look at the poster, but allowed Indy to enlist anyhow.
: : I have the majority of the videos recorded but it will take me some time to tell you exactly what it said.
:
: The poster said 'defense de fumer', meaning 'no smoking'.
: The officer smoked though.

+ Indy and Remy recruited in London not in Belgium.
+ The officer was not skeptical, but amused. He believed not a word of what Indy says but did not care (they would have allowed him to join the army anyway).
