So the Space French are the bad guys here? This is interesting.

I'm rather sure there's no connection - at least I never saw a Frog driving a Citroen!

Are these Frenchmen or literal frogs we're talking about?

No, some kind of luminous aliens which were given the name Frogs by the crew of the Orion. I guess the English word was used to give it a more unusual sound or feeling than the German word 'FrΓΆsche'. The whole series is on youtube. Part 1 [link] from time code 48:00 to 50:00 you can see some of them.

I see. Then again, calling aliens Frogs isn't much different from calling them Lizards (as with a certain Turtledove series).

The Orion and the whole stuff had been created in the sixties when something like "political correctness" was unknown.
