I hope everyone is having a Happy Easter! If you did not reach the end of my video, I would like you to know that I have not determined my next video topic. I recently visited the beautiful nation of Turkey, which has made me partial to exploring a snapshot or a broad overview of their experience in WWI. Another idea that I have been entertaining is an exploration of Franz Josef (Francis Joseph). A third idea, that I scrapped after the relatively poor performance of the Frankish video, was a look at the Death of Augustus’s progeny in a rapid and mysterious manner. Finally, if none of those options sound exciting, I am open to suggestions.
South Africa's war in Angola. Big tank battles etc. Start with Operation Protea.
Some fighting in Portuguese empire like Guinea Mozambique Angola would be interesting since I haven't heard much about their colonial conflicts, if you do Turkey gallipoli is already well known and covered maybe do the fighting around Caucasus and northeast anatolia or Mesopotamia or sinai
@@steventhompson399 Thanks for the input. Right now I am in the middle of a quick video ON anecdotes of WWII. Should be out in 1-2 weeks
@@steventhompson399 I believe the fighting in Guinea-Bissau was the hardest and most brutal fight the Portuguese endured but almost no-one knows anything about it.
Mapai was another Rhodesian disaster and then there were also the greenleader attack on Zambia and other targets around the same time
Amazingly resourceful and crafty tactics on behalf of the Rhodesians. And a great retelling by Anecdotes of History!
Rhodesians Never Die!
Rhodesian technicians were very resourceful and worked incredibly hard. Even now 40 years after the event I am still astonished how well equipped our workshops were, how efficient our supply train was and how well trained we were.
And you still got you're lights knocked out .
@@brianmuvuti2102 Ha Ha Kill ratio of 10:1. I rather think we whipped you into touch.
@@tightcamper That's why we are the rulers here in Harare ,not Salisburyand you are somewhere in exile.
@@brianmuvuti2102 Correct me if I'm wrong you racist but wasn't Bishop Muzorewa the first black Prime Minister. The war escalated when he was minister of defence. Mugabe was crying like a baby at Lancaster House and look where Zimbabwe is now. What passport do you hold boy?
@@tightcamper I'm a proud holder of not only a Zimbabwean passport, but a ZANU PF party card as well, white boi!!!!
Great series and bares testament to the brave forces of Rhodesia.
Rhodesians NEVER die
At the end of Saturday the first wave of G Cars bringing troops from Support Commando back from Tembwe to Rhodesia had to put down short of Mt Darwin. This was because the fading light and lack of horizon which meant the pilots could not fly anymore that evening and all landed on a farm much to the farmers astonishment. We went into JOC Darwin for a meal, beer and sleep before moving onto Sarum in the morning. Don’t remember the rain!
I would imagine that the adrenaline from a successful operation would lead one to drink a little more than usual. Does your experience confirm this?!?
@@AnecdotesofHistory To be honest I think it was one beer and then sleep. If I remember we took off around 05:30 that morning. Good video though as with the first Chimoio one.
You guys are damn heroes, the feats of the Rhodesian military are honestly astonishing
nice to see we have some rhodie vets among us! bless you sir!
i hope i could have come as a volunteer...
@@nilsbachellery6939 We are all getting old Nils. Time never stands still does it 😂. Keep well Sir!!
Interesting to get this in my recommended. Rhodesian military history is not often told on CZcams. Keep up the stories!
Absolutely amazing series on the Bush War so far, I’ve been showing my buddy these videos. The Rhodesians are some of the most badass guys in history.
It's an bitter sweet . . they fought so excellent but were sold down river by sinister so called leaders in the wider empire then . . those inbred retard useless bankers are busy trying to turn the whole world to crap now
What a wonderful series!!! Bravo to you 👏 🙌 😊😊 so glad you played Rhodesians never die at the end rounded it all off nicely.
Another great video!! Can't wait for the next one.
Can't wait for yours!
@@mattyallen3396 Thanks. I'll be uploading again this weekend.
Greetings to you from Ukraine, Rhodesia, and this operation is something very unusual, both in terms of the number of losses of the enemy and special forces. I took the link to your video on my telegram channel, thank you.
5RR Sent me really quality videos for such a small channel good job man
Rhodesians were badass and deserved to win.
Another wonderful video. I would love to see more of Cold War African conflicts. They are such intresting, yet basically unknown subject.
By now you must have heard of the writings of Al J. Venter. He's the Hemingway of late 20th century Africa.
today's my lucky day! thanks for the timely upload xD
I really wanted to have this video out on Easter Sunday!
You can find more about Jack in the channel “ Fighting men of Rhodesia “ . There was a biography on his life on that channel not so long ago! Long live the Rhodesians .. men of valour and courage ! Well trained fighters who have no fear of their enemies!
Great content as always. I shared to my two FB rhodie pages. Keep up the good work. (You know it's good when 5RR recommends the channel)
I appreciate the share Braden!
5RR?
@@batpoolzilla3200 another CZcams channel. Five Romeo Romeo. He's an ex rhodie that makes videos about rhodesia and pre rhodesian history
5RR sent me! 👍
Thanks for coming
Love the series on the bush war, hopefully you will post more videos about it
Awesome video, your attention to detail is brilliant. Respect 🙏🤜🤛.
'Jack Malloch. Legend of the African Skies' is an ebook available on Kindle.
I will look into that!
@@AnecdotesofHistory Also take a look at:

comment for the algorithm, and happy Easter!
Love the format and production of your videos, looking forward to more like this!
Glad to here that people are still looking forward to my videos! I took a year+ break from long form content, but I am recording the next video as we speak. Please subscribe to stay tuned!
Amazing work!
Not Andy but Ken Flower,Matty.Andy is the cricketer !!
Fascinating!
thanks for your videos. Truly instructive. For your next videos I suggest Cuito Cuanavale battle.
I think it's impressive how the Rhodesian army utilized enemy weapons and equipment to great effect.
Why did Rhodesia abide by the Geneva convention and worry about international outrage, The whole world knew and actually helped and supported the uprising against Rhodesia, The terrorist broke almost every rule made in the Geneva convention, they attacked maimed and killed innocent men women and children, shot civilian planes out the sky and then raped and murdered the survivors. They terrorized villagers to support and feed them, and kidnapped the children to become their recruits, and if these villagers reported to the Rhodesian authorities they were tortured and killed, and still the world with supposedly such high morals and values continued to support and supply, without any consequences or reprimand, and in fact continued giving them aid and support even after the fall of Rhodesia... In other words the means are justified so long as the end is as they want it, and no matter how Rhodesia was they did not care. Wow Rhodesia and South Africa must have been such a threat to the western world that they even conspired with their greatest enemy the eastern block , to ensure our fall.
If white nations can sell their own kith and kin out to another race, what can or will they do to their own white people in their own countries? this is not a thought but a fact proven by their actions.
Seems like the only person making these great videos
Just got my computer working again! Next video will be in July!
Great work, really enjoyed watching the video. You should do some videos on the Boarder war between South Africa and Angola. You should also sometime do some videos on ww2 operations in Ethiopia and east Africa. Once again great work, you now have a new subscriber, great job.
Here's my experience in Angola (South African Border War):
DIT WAS OORLOG (IT WAS WAR) - graphical material me myself took in Angola in 1982: czcams.com/video/ILqFNQEz46M/video.html . Graphic and gruesome - not for sensitive viewers.
Great lot of videos!
Thanks Aydon!
Amazing visual, explanation and Tchaikovsky
Very good 👏
I highly recommend Alan Brough's Biography of Jack Malloch. There is also a video on YT of an interview of Alan discussing the book. The video is also highly recommended
Do a follow up on the Rhodesian attack on the Mudzi Ruver camp
Absolute bad arse blokes, highly trained, gutsy and motivated, amazing asymmetrical warfare !!
This was a really interesting watch, You should do operation Gatling (green leader) next.
Just finished it!
How about doing a video on how Ross Perot funded an operation to rescue some of his employees from an Iranian prison.
It is spent Tembue. Pronounced Tem-b-we
The train is a long way from your map.
It's next to Magoe.
You need to change it.
See the little lagoon mid lake south bank. Its just south of that.
Meta move of all factions fighting bush wars vs South Africa and rhodesia:
Claim that your military bases were refugee camps.
Have you done a video on Operation Gatling? The Famous Green Leader Raid .
No I have not, but I will return to Africa eventually!
Try to make a video on Operation Overlord.
First advert at 01:26. Where's that damn fire force?!!
Based civilisation x !
Rhodesians were the apex of the warriors. Our shame the name of the country nowadays. Rhodesia is Rhodesia, and it will grow back.
No need to cry over spill cocos! They've been known to bayonet pregnant women in the stomach.
Who's that ?
The Rhodesians? Nonsense.
@@TjakaErasmus Not the Rhodies but ZANLA. Their atrocities were beyond human comprehension. Google: "Anatomy of terror" to see acts from their play book.
Say what you want about the politics but the Rhodesians genuinely made that whole war look like a “massacre.”
Not their fault the terrorists gave guns to untrained civilians to fight
@@diehard2705 Africa baby
@@diehard2705 Too bad for the Rhodesians that their political conduct of the war was not matching their tactical lordship.
Utube fighing men.of rhodesia has 2 good biography episodes on jack malloch
17:40 I think it should be noted that if an army is good enough in a and puts terrible casualties on the enemy that should be considered a massacre as terribly one sided war is horrible and it does not matter to the friends and families of those killed whether they’re in the military or not as every death is a tragedy that should be remembered
D
Can u do more vids on the Rhodesian war please. And then do some vids on the South African border war pretty please
Almost finished with Operation Gatling. Just adding the finishing touches!
Smoke on that Zanu pack
Nyadzonya raid
Seebeez or is it chibeez
11:15 Did he mean to say "minority"?
That is what I said. Sorry if it was unclear!
@@AnecdotesofHistory It was clear, but before that you said the attack was surprisingly effective.
@@charjl96 Just guessing here but I think he's using the term in its technical meaning. Anything over 50% is a majority, so a "significant minority" could be anything less than 49%. Which is... significant! :D
"...to liberate Zimbabwe"? Are you serious? If there is any definition of a "shithole country", it's "Zimbabwe" now.
Zambia never had any problems when they got independence in 1964. Europeans thought it was a great country to live in, and had no problems integrating with the Blacks.
Aw man no more bush wars?
I will certainly come back to Southern Africa. Maybe this summer when I have more time!
@@AnecdotesofHistory tbh it is a big and complicated subject i understand. Also i haven't seen operation Dingo and Eland explained like this so cudos. Whatever you do next I'll be watching.
You can thank ken Flower for the leaked information
That's not cricket man! Andy played cricket - Traitor Ken perhaps!
A great video! But please stop, speaking in three, and four word, phrases. Please for the love of heck.
Awesome job. Have you considered covering operation miracle 1979?
