Operation Dingo: Attack on Tembue (The Rhodesian Bush War, 1977)

[@AnecdotesofHistory]

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.

[@steventhompson399]

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

[@Toncor12]

@@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.

Amazingly resourceful and crafty tactics on behalf of the Rhodesians. And a great retelling by Anecdotes of History! Rhodesians Never Die!

[@tightcamper]

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.

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?!?

[@shanesampson9730]

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.
