In the film 'Crossing the border', four white South African veterans who fought on the border of occupied Namibia and Angola in the 70s and 80s together with thousands of other young white conscript soldiers reflect on their terrifying adventures. They were part of the elite Crowbar unit, a death squad responsible for killing many people. During the South African Border War, they fought against what was known as the Rooi gevaar (red danger), the government term for the ANC and SWAPO liberation movements.

you have to pay to watch the full documentary on your website??

[DocsOnline]

Yes, due to the copyrights we have to charge for the documentary. The revenue is transfered directly to the author of the film. In this case Saskia Vredeveld.

What the fuck are you Pussies carrying on about??

They were 'gooks' and were "slotted"

In war, it is the objective to kill your enemy.... Is there anything wrong with that??

I was in SWA at the time, and cannot agree with this weakling. Sure, killing somebody is not great, but if the cunts are trying to annihilate your beloved country "Fuck em All"

I fail to see what you are carrying on about?.

There are squillions of these black cunts in Africa... Why not use them as target practice??

This video has the feel of another smear campaign against us old troops. Thats no second lieutenant - our generation already has grey hair!
