They say a war is not truly over until the last person who fought in it has died.
I make videos about my lifelong interest in Military History and the fascinating story of Africa. Creating content about the experiences of the fighting men of Rhodesia in the hope of capturing their stories for posterity. Many of the great warriors I knew have now passed on and their stories have gone with them. For all of us the clock is ticking and I hope to document as much of this history as I can before it's too late. I feel very blessed to be supported in this adventure by such a lovely bunch of people. THANK YOU from the bottom of heart for making this channel possible!

Speaking as a Zimbabwean/ Rhodesian of British stock,  I am beyond honoured to read of these great mens' courage. No matter their ethnicity or colour. They are Men Among Men.

Nothing as beautiful as the stories being told by both the hunter and hunted. Bra Richard, bravo to you

This is incredible. To have these four gentlemen in the same room sharing these memories and experiences. Nothing like this will ever exist again. Thank you.

Capt Darrell Watt, he should definitely write a book on all his exploits within the SAS.

Really great to finally get a good audio from Darrell. What a soldier & what a hard bugger for 74! Tatenda Richard for your story. We may have fought on opposite sides, but you still have my respect for what you endured. As can be seen, if the Western world had left us alone, l am sure that we would have sorted our problems out to the betterment of all races in Zimbabwe

This is one for the history books.

Big praise to Richard for opening up thr can of worms created by the bloody poms!

Both sides of the story which is extremely rare in today's world..............Undoubtedly the best interview to date.

As a BSAP reservist  now 77 yrs old so much of this interview is a stunning revelation to me. I am stunned by my how much I didn't know. Staggering treachery of the British.

I love how men can fight each other to death , then days , weeks , years later become best friends !! Not so easy with women 😉

Great to see this! I left South Africa 4 years ago but I still consider myself African, being white seeing this helps me believe there is hope. Darrell Watt is a legend . Read the book A Handful of Hard Men!

Brilliant guys much appreciated thank you for sharing

It's the unwritten and unknown part of history we all need and want. 👏🏾👏🏾

Wow, just amazing to hear first hand confirmation of the rumours we all grew up with.

Please have another get together like this one with all parties concerned. Bring Richard back our history must include views from his side. Richard please come back again.

Only 10 mins into this and I have to give credit to you all, and especially Richard for obvious reasons. It was a hard war, but it's long over now and getting an accurate record of it from the participants is very important. Well done again and keep up the good work.

Thank you Hannes
As a guy born in 1981 in Australia after my parents left Zimbabwe/Rhodesia in December 1980, I’m so proud that the two of you have begun documenting the history of the conflict for my children and grandchildren.
After so much controversy and misinformation it’s a wonderful endeavor.

How awesome to find this after just listening to a book mostly about him. It's called "A Handful Of Hard Men: The SAS  And The Battle for Rhodesia" what a legend can't wait to listen to

Building bridges of understanding between those who fought on both sides of the war will never be easy. I appreciate this may present a number of difficulties because those involved in war are sometimes broken in body and mind whilst some may continue to loathe former foes. But it is a noble cause to make peace with former enemies to build something better.
Thank you for another valuable insight.
