Amazing information. Great effort from the Para's. 1978 I was a Canadian,playing hockey and drinking beer form stubby bottles. Not a care in the world, while at same time fellow teens from Rhodesia and South Africa were fighting for their lives in Africa. SADF and the Rhodies are a tough but fun bunch, would rather drink a beer than pick a fight with them.

Great video series, thanks for posting

lol, "he crawled into my barrel...looked at me and I looked at him, he knew it was over for him." Classic The oupa's of the SADF funny blokes.

how can you even call them swapo terrorist ?when u r the one attacking them ?it sad that innocent ppl have lost their lives ! we will remember them forever?

[MegaFatboy08]

the terrorists were the white people fighting our freedom fighters. Zimbabwe belongs to all those who love it not to a minority who think they are better than the majority. pamberi neZimbabwe, pasi neRhodesia. We won the war and you say Rhodesians dont die, Zimbabweans will outlive you racist bastards!!

great stuff just a shame it was for nothing

[Eeshaan1985]

I would actually pay for the video. Full DvD price, but only if I were given a link to download it, instead of the DvD version, TBH...

This is a very very interesting subject. Arguably THE most deadly & overlooked conflict of it's generation.

The SADF's steel helmet is quite interesting . Looks like China's PLA's @ Japanese WW2's helmet but this is uniquely South African !
