The more they come the more they'll fall!

@peroteive9962

I served with Daniel (Danny) Roxo in northern Mozambique 1968/71. Danny was a 32nd member.

@hendrikjbboss9973

Today we are going to talk 💩

@hendrikjbboss9973

Do your homework before spouting 💩

@ALBERTVANZYL-e7v

32 battalion best of the best

@Alex-yk1cn

I served with 701 battalion (which started out as 31 battalion) 1982 – 83, which was near to the 32 battalion base in the Caprivi strip. I visited their base during that time, had a very interesting and enjoyable time meeting them. And yes the video was a bit annoying – it was only ever referred to as three two battalion. And why are some videos voiced over by AI?

@ricardocarvalho1290

Funny how they say 500 'people' were killed. Not soldiers from the Angolan government and Cubans? Don't be hypocrites.

@edvardasgruzdys9373

Respect.

@JimmyGrant74

Its three-two not 32

@stephenhilditch3324

At 5 SAI in 1987 we had an ex 32 ( Three Two ) Battalion Sergeant as an Instructor. He was well respected but some of us we were terrified of him.

@mortenfrosthansen84

Such modern types of uncle Tom is a rare sight.. selling out their own kind, for their colonial masters

@glennharris6352

This is Bull Shit. Ai voice.

@MWGTRYO

All military personnel serve at the grace of politicians. Sad that we were led to believe that we really had a chance.
SA, Angola, Cuba, and SWAPO were all pawns in a much bigger game of Capitalism vs Communism.

@StorytimeIST

Why is Col Roland de Vries not mentioned? He was the key as Officer commanding

@philnahenriet2550

I am part of that generation. As women we were not conscripted but could join as volunteers which I did for a year. I have the utmost respect for our men/boys of 17, 18 who fought in that war. I lost many schoolmates. Many came back broken. I am sickened by the way they were treated in the end by our own Leaders and the rest of the world. We had the best army in the world and we will NEVER forget their sacrifice. We know the truth. Salute🫡

@BillyWilly-w6r

Nope. So many inaccuracies. Another video fail.

They were not SPECOPS
They were infantry
Three Two Battalion

@sanelemkhize9176

32 batallion was a terorist force bcs they invade south africa from the right owenrs

@johanvermark9933

Betrayed By FW de Klerk.

Why always when you talk about SADF veterans, youbdont mentions African soldiers, who served and battled with their white combatants,its always about whites

@PaoloCavestro-ey9bb

Colonialism, Universalism, Globalism, Messianism, Milleniarism and Monotheism are the greatest horrors in history!!!

@PaoloCavestro-ey9bb

Southafrica belongs to Zulu, Venda, Xhosa, Saan, Khoi-Khoi, etc, etc, etc not to White Anglosaxons and boers.

@JohnAib

Former black 32members are rotting in poverty while u are leaving a luxury life.yuo used blacks against blacks.COWARDS

@JohnAib

They were betrayed to fight against the freedom of people

@lukeedwards-OG

Haha all these wannabe comments. My father Trevor Edwards was in 32 battalion, proper killer, no emotion.

@HenryTheGerman

Drie-twee, not thirty-two of twee-en-dertig !! The buffels were no spec ops men, even not the guys from the 32 recce wing. The only spec ops were the recces. Often the SWASpes units from Otavi en Windhoek are also been seen as special forces but they were "spesialiste", no spec ops manne.
Hierdie video is k..k!! Dis misleiding. Verwyder dit !

@danievandermerwe1157

My dad told me about 32 Battalion, he did 2 missions with them and said they where brutal when loosing one of their own.

@barendbredenkamp8736

I respect the SADF, I grew up in Clubview, right next to Voortrekkerhoogte… I remember seeing those men and hearing all the sorties being flown out every night… I was too young to join up… But right or wrong, I support the SADF, thank you whatever you guys did, I survived because of your efforts… Therefore, if you happen to be an old soldier reading this… Whoever you are, Whatever you did…. Whatever… I thank you and salute you, and to those who did not make it… I will place garlands on your graves brothers and think of you with deep gratitude.

@esmebuitendag7131

It can be done. Tested and proven! Well done, Veterans!!

@jeffreydupreez3052

Men and not boys.. Our old timers that served in our previous government army were men to recound with.

@garthrichert5256

Was. Was. Was. No they are never gone. SA has now got something that cant even get itself into the back of a truck.

@Trabotapi

There was a madman in Mafikeng in th 2000s, he used to tell us in detail the horrible things they did as the "os terivos", he looks like the guy in 2:17 😮😮😮😮 I learned a bit of Portuguese from him. He would come to debonairs in the crossing mall and get yesterday's leftovers, sit and talk loud, most of the time we could not hear as it was in Portuguese, sometimes he would switch to English.

@seavale11

i have work with them in natal and phola park. nice guys

@moviesparadise5208

Sometimes I wonder where we would be as the country had our bullshit ANC not taken power 😢, we had the best healthcare in the world the best military, we were on our way to being a nuclear superpower, our estimated economic development was on par with the likes of Australia and Japan

Now look at us

@kenbird8783

The SA general at the time of 32's existence rated them as the finest unit in the SADF. Not bad for an irregular force, but what does that say for the regular SADF??

@ncgp1

I fought with 31/201 Battalion the bushman from Omega base in the Caprivi . Like 32 battalion soldiers they where familiar with the terrain and in my opinion were great soldiers. Also had great respect for 32 battalion also and Koevoet. As for defending Apartheid we were a long way from SA and I never saw the border war as that. We were keeping communist forces at bay on behalf of SWA. Though of course the communists also had an eye on South Africa.

@orca2162

I suggest you do some research and stop posting incorrect information. 😂😂😂

@DeanNatheos-eq3hl

And from this comes the deadliest most blood thirsty mercenaries in Africa God have mercy on those poor people 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮.

@daverankin2246

It's pronounced three two, not thirty-two.

And S.A I. is pronounced "sigh"

@TheMadManPlace

Three Two Battalion…
Now that was a unit that took NO SHIT from ANYONE…
And there are VERY FEW ex members that will be willing to talk about EVERYTHING – even if you can find them.
In reality ( I have heard from trusted sources ) there were FAR more 32 members than "official" reports let on about.
Yes, there were a number of guys seconded to the unit on a "temporary" basis but often those "temporary" secondments sort of never came to an end.
And those Bushmen trackers – they could track someone down a tar road if they had to.

@daffidkane8350

What is the capability of current Black led SADF?

@christheone248

Was part of them in 86 and they were the best!

@williambosompem4193

They got trained by the 32 battalions trough Jerry John Rawlings President of Ghana then and we do have 32 battalions here in Ghana they were later dissolve

@doonhamer252

Load of bollocks..

@lo-ammitruter9388

Its not thirty-two battalion, its three two battalion – drie twee bataljon.

@valmarsables3098

@valmarsables3098
