- English news announcement. Included are rare video footage on a short history of 32 Battalion. Also read the book: Striking inside Angola with 32 Battalion, Marius Scheepers ( www.30degreessouth.co.za/strik... )
These people were shamefully treated. It was a profoundly dishonourable
act on the part of selfish politicians.
My respect for colonel Breytenbach. I'm proud to have served with 32 Battalion from June'77 to December "78. I salute you and all the members that have serve with the unit!
The best of the best, 32 will always be tops.
Courageous unit...humble man...Breytenbach...even their last drill was perfect!!! Salute...
Their drills where never perfect. Bushmen drills.
My dad was 32b. Respect!
Compare this unit to our recent military units, no comparison. 32 were best in the world
respect from the UK great soldiers
From watching the drill,you can see that these men are not to be toyed with.
No not at all. I just feel sorry for the ex-32 guys that life, the NP and the ANC have left to rot somewhere on the SA/Botswana border. They did not deserve that. Last I heard they where still there.
You lost the war----make peace with that.....
@@D-E-S_8559betrayed. Never lost anything.
Let me be the judge of that. I was there I gave my share of sweat and blood
To all my brothers I jest have to say.
We all regroup some day even if is in hell and then we will return for a sweet revenge.
The ending song was bittersweet.
Worked close up and shared close up......always true...
@@albertvanwyk9983 Do you know the name of the song? can't seem to find it
I’m black and born in the new South Africa but this is sad to see
It is sad: can't you see that 32 Batallion was serving everyone?
We lost a great unit!
I don't know if your comment was directed towards me - I just happened to revisit this video - nonetheless, I found it to be a memory of a time once past.
FW de Klerk en Roelf Meyer... julle het baie om voor te beantwoord.

Are their any recordings that exist of the Songs sang by 32 Battalion.
Heartbreaking the way they have been treated.

Christmas 76 we packed Lt Swart of 32 in a bodybag. All for nothing...

Soldiers were, are and will be the pawn of politicians. Brave SADF soldiers were indoctrinated that they fighting against communism and the ant-christ. It was much more nuanced than that. It was the oil fields in Angola and mines in South Africa they were actually defending. Anti-government rebels thought they were fighting for freedom and democracy. They were badly mistaken. Little did they realise their leaders already sold them to the American/British/South African oligarchy. Long story short, the privileged middle class who worked so hard for an African dream saw it go down the drain. People from the location moved to the city looking for a better life ended up in slums. The only people well off are the new politicians and oligarchy as the gravy train toots along. Good luck my compatriats, much worse times are ahead.
I think the town may have been demolished by now.

This is just…sad

The of nationalism in South Africa is shocking
Good that the South African military is now in the hands of the really native owners of the land, not descendents of economic refugees from Europe..
Ah yes, and South Africa has such a world reputation now. We Europeans laugh at your government. It's a shame to see how the ANC shits in the Afrikaner build economic strong South Africa. How the ANC shits on the roads build during the year that South Africa was among the greatest of nations.
@@dutchskyrimgamer.youtube2748 Just go back to Europe if you still consider yourself European. You don't even have a European passport and you call yourself European?
@@Jey2108 The SANDF is not an army. Do not tell the people lies. Do not tell these peeple to go back to urope wena. If these Peeples leave us then we are like Zimbabwe in one year. 😤 do you wants to suffer then go to Zim and see what happens even the white Peeples go away. You are mampara wena. To much talking but no brains in head
@Willy Pete Now it is made up of peace loving South African!
Haha - what Military? They couldn't fight themselves out of a plastic bag.
