Fighting Men of Rhodesia ep36 | Wally Insch 1st talk

[@kelliewatsoninsch7657]

He is the strongest man I know. My superman. My Dad ❤️ I’m so grateful he made it out of there. So glad it’s being documented. Thank you

[@royalordinance]

I remember 1984, my friend Dean leant me a book on the Rhodesian conflict. I sighed because initially I thought I was getting an SAS book about Britain and Northern Ireland. Out of boredom I read the Rhodesian book and I was completely blown away by the courage of men like your Dad. The civilised world has no idea of the bravery(!) And savagery (!!)on the other side. I thought Insch was a German name, but this video set me straight. What a Father!!

[@audreydempsey247]

God bless that man.

[@jackburmingham6716]

@@royalordinance what's the name of the book you read?

[@royalordinance]

The book was Selous Scouts, I think. May have been "the elite". Long time ago.

Here we go... the real McCoy... tip of the spear... respect! Original Rhodie mould - only a few of those types around; unique men.

The courage of this guy is legendary!

Uncle Wally, absolute LEGEND!!!

[@familys6076]

Absolutely

[@davereid-daly2205]

What a Wally !!!!😝

[@davereid-daly2205]

That level of bravery is astounding, to say the very least. What a privilege to have known such courageous and spirited Men.

[@royalordinance]

Rhodesia and SA gave some really frightening soldiers, even hard-bitten German SS were intimidated. Very Special.

I am so glad to have found this channel. Thank you all for your service.

[@alistairfulton6316]

Wally thank you for your bravery . You are a man of real valour and I stand in ore of your escapades during the war. A special man indeed.

[@terryharrison5185]

I was introduced to this man in 1982 in Amanzimtoti at a braai by a lady called Lynn McNamara ... It was a very memorable occasion. The braai kicked off on Friday and ended Monday morning 😂😂😂

[@itsmeagain8604]

That took nuts. Play the captured mlungu who could have taken a flying stone or blade or bullet at any moment. Nerves of steel.

[@lrd350r]

Absolute legend. Please keep the stories coming. We are so privileged to have these pieces a history documented.

Thank you for another informative interview. Wally is a very interesting gentleman with a unique perspective of the conflict. To call him brave would be an understatement.

[@FraserGriffiths-i4e]

I used to work with Wally in the QLD gas fields, he was such a talented and interesting man. He designed and constructed the revolving mechanism in Auckland's Sky Tower when he lived in NZ. Top bloke

[@tigershoot]

Very interesting. I assume that in both these 'aductions' you were still in Rhodesia, and not carted over the border into Mozambique? Seems a ludicrously risky thing to do to get up close and personal with the enemy, but I guess that just about sums up the whole Selous Scouts' philosophy! Did you receive a bravery award? It staggers me that in the entire Rhodesian Bush War there were only two GCV awarded. Compared to other countries, it seems that the criteria for top medals was exceptionally high. Talking of Gwanda, I have a relative by marriage who was the first white born at the church mission there. He's still alive.

[@tofan2622]

True Champion. "I don't know where I learned it, but I was able to dispatch them". Thank you so much for sharing.

[@williammclaughlin2946]

These are remarkable stories I tell you what! Such an overlooked history and overlooked war that I find very interesting and fascinating! As an American and also former united States soldier at twenty nine years of age, I grew up learning the history of the first and second world war whom I have had relatives serve in, as well as relatives who served in Vietnam but not the soviet Afghan war, which I also find a great interest in. I find the history of the Rhodesian bush war and Angolan war far more fascinating than my own country's conflict in war. You men were and still are the salt of the earth and you did everything you could in your own hearts and minds to do what was right. Such a shame that we could not aid you all in any way as we chose to turn a blind eye to the fact. We knew what we did was wrong but we did anyway. please forgive my past generation sir. Keep up the good content and I wish one day to have some beers with old soldiers such as yourselves and hear first accounts of your actions firsthand face to face. Greetings from Mississippi!! Cheers mate!!

[@pelonehedd7631]

This American likes this video and highly recommends it. This American Has a Son in the U.S. Army Green Berets. My Uncles were combat veterans of WW2 . No one can Deny that the Rhodesian’s stand Tip Toe with the Greeks at Thermopylae , Henry the Fifth at Agincourt , the Brits at Rourke s Drift and the Marines at Guadalcanal and the Chosin Resevoir. The Rhodesian’s do have the distinction of fighting on in the face of overwhelming odds and adversities few other militaries have had to cope with.

Great job on the "balloons" to interpret the slang. Even a lot of Rhodesian slang could benefit from this. "Ek se, doppies," etc.

Big balls to play games with the enemy. Look forward to round 2.

Can you speak about PATU. My brother had his own stick unit. Spoke Ndebelle

The United States should of backed up Rhodesia instead of working to see a defeat. That was a time ago and can anyone imagine what sort of country America is now? Most of the people are all right but never, never put any trust in the Government.

[@kommando5562]

It was lowkey Andrew young under Jimmy carter a friend of MLK and a legit commie who pushed the sanctions. If the American people knew they would’ve done something as we had vets going there and fighting. Damn shame and tragedy but at least these men fought communism till the very end I’m glad to see all these videos documenting their stories it’s so cool.

[@tm-ox5hm]

Absolutely love these interviews. They are documented history and spoken truthfully. But killing an unarmed fleeing civilian because she made fun of you.....not sure about that.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Who said she was unarmed? she was clearly a high value target and organiser. Legit target if ever there was one in my view.
