It is interesting one thing: SADF men were armed with FN FAL that basically fires semi auto, are very accurate, but with less firepower than assault rifles. So SADF men were actually outgunned and outnumbered . and SWAPO men and women were after all experienced infanty. I wonder what kind of training had SADF men received because they went into a mission that today the most of infantry officers will think against all odds

the communist mooo gabee , once in power did everything possible to destroy the history and the pride of Rhodesia according to Marxist theory, you destroy everything that is and create an all new perversion of your history according to communist doctrine

Awsome production well done

Ok 😂

In 2024, the world now knows that Ian Smith was right.

We lost a great country

Today marks 15 years since one of the most tenacious leaders in history passed away. RIP Mr Smith.

Bra why is this I'm Namibian and none of this happened they attacked innocent women and children

Another country that fell victim to the communist disease…

Ironically the same thing that happened to Rhodesia all those years ago is now creeping up on the US and Britain. At least we fought with pride.

Goodbye racists

It's absolutely wonderful that Rhodesia failed to materialized and the native melanated Africans got their land back from those wicked colonizers from Britain. Long live Zimbabwe! Cheers🍸

Not a single African face in the light infantry!

End of an era? End of racism!

Men of men with the biggest nuts ever

Soames was a complete irisponsible man

Gee I miss Old Smithy

La Rhodesia ed il Sudafrica prima erano le uniche nazioni africane ad essere dei giardini fioriti. Ora sono entrambe diventate una giungla. Ma in fondo ciascuno ha quel che si merita del resto è proprio la giungla l'habitat naturale di chi comanda adesso in quei posti.

Another African success story

what a disaster give any country over to non whites and it will go to crap

Racist!

The entire Western World owes an apology to the Rhodesians.

an end to white opression

Rhodeisa might be gone but its stand for freedom against a hostile world will be remembered for ages.

All about propaganda,the South African Army we're the victors in 80% of the fights.Just lies telling the world that we lost the fight.

What a time it was.

Good bunch of lads shame about occupied Rhodesia

This was a good thing. Rhodesia moved to majority rule. Black rule. By the majority black population that inhabited the land for centuries before the arrival of British thieves. It’s good Rhodesia is gone.

Thank you.. brave me

British traitors…

That's bullshit

What a wonderful Man who was a true African- and is sadly missed for the honest courageous man he was - RIP a good African Legend 😍

Die kaffer op sy plek.

does anyone know what song that is in the background?

RIP Ian Douglas Smith 🫡

An absolute betrayal of Rhodesia.

Propaganda colonial racista

The poor guy deserved better ,he only wanted what was best for the country...

I will never forgive those that betrayed us, South of the border and across the sea. Ian Smith you were my hero and as long as I live I will never forget you. Your memory will last forever!

Long live Zimbabwe, Glory to Presidents Robert Mugabe and Emmerson Mnangagwa! Love from a Native American 🇺🇸🦬❤🇿🇼

My dad was in the war

Dont panic .. Saint Sir Bob Geldof will save you from starvation for a bit.

Of course the video has a slanted view. Holy Moly, Rhodesia had almost everything, to be desired ,climate ,soil, . Despite feeling that they were occupied, the black population has a hell of a better life in Rhodesia than they had in Zimbabwe. Tropical countries represent a major part of the third world. For centuries, the population have no great incentive to work or inovate. Fact This latergy is their down fall, and leaves an open door for others to acquire their recourses. No doubt, they benifited from The Rhodesia with infrastructure and work. But subsequent events showed that they valued neither. China in Africa will suffer the same fate in decades ahead, and the wheel goes around. Ian Smith was an amazing man . Spoke the truth but nobody listened

RIP Ian Douglas Smith.

God bless all those that fought for Rhodesia. A country that was abandoned and left to the ruin of terrorists

So the Rhodesian Light Infantry probably didn't use tanks but it would be interesting to know how the Rhodesian Army received 8 Polish-made T-55LD tanks.

How the condition of Whites in Zimbabwe after an end of Mugabe era???

I wish the Rhodesians were still with us ... Shame on Thatcher

The sniper probably had the sight turned all the way up
