My grandpa fough in angola (portuguese navy fuzileiro) he told me he had met Savimbi in a military field hospital (this was before UNITAS fought against portugal and was helping portugal against the MPLA) he told me that Savimbi was a pretty nice guy and was in the hospital because he had gotten sick
@@cheesebottle2844 same, but my grandpa will only tell stories when he is drunk.Some stories i cant even say online or else i could risk getting banned for TOS
My grandpa was a Bulgarian sailor during the war, transporting weapons to them. He was a huge hoarder of foreign items and one day he met up with an Angolan general who offered to give him and the crew something of gratitude. My grandpa liked to collect exotic animals like parrots and others. So he asked the general for a monkey. Later the same day, they were getting ready to set sail and go back, but he still hadn't gotten his monkey. The captain of the ship told him the general got killed in an ambush while going back with a monkey in the back of his jeep.
@@delta1-248you can see it in the “South African Defence Force- Angolan Bush war” video by Majorsamm. I don’t know where the audio itself comes from though.
In Call of war, I was playing angola and had savimbi as flag and just kept saying the same quotes from the mission every battle or I got on over and over and eventually the try hards came for me and I made a desperate last stand with my Anti MPLA army on a coast town using naval artillery to hold them back but eventually was crushed
My father grandfather and many relatives fought the war in Angola grandfather was a Brigadier General of the SA Army and my Uncle was a Recce special forces paratrooper
the two thing that come first in my head was "he got balls i'll tell you that " and "HA HA HA ! my friend from youtube ! you get enjoyment ! we all did !"
The funny thing is about the olifante is that it was a late world war 2 tank and the very first main battle tank, it’s crazy how the South Africans managed to get a world war 2 tank operational for nearly 80 years
@@jackdaugaard-hansen4512I mean by that logic the T-62 is a WW2 tank technically. Just a different turret. Russia has been keeping that thing operational, and using it in Ukraine as a “world power”. Imagine that.
@@BARelement the centurion was not completely a world war 2 tank, a late prototype saw action in the last days of the war, the full version would not come until after the war, the t62 was 15 years older then the centurion, of course in the border war the backbone of the SADFs armoured front line vehicles was the ratel and its variant’s
