Forged in Flames 1
See also part 2 and 3. In part 2 the follow-up after the clashes of the Lomba river is described, when parts of the 21 brigade tried to mantain contact in very difficult terrain with the retreating enemy. The potential result of insecure communications, lack of coding, and too much talk on the radio is shown. This happened also frequently in WWII, for example with radio-rich American forces.
Operation Packer
From the middle of Part 2 till the end of Part 3 mostly English, talking about the planning cycle for the staff. Shows a bit about how the attack on forces southeast of Cuito was perceived by the SADF.
The last domino
General overview of the Borderwar from the South African/South West (Namibia) perspective.
The Saints - the Rhodesian Light Infantry
A rather long and detailed documentary about RLI, posted due to the partial connection with later SADF tactics in Ovamboland.
The Cassinga raid
A very detailed Master thesis. The author has served in combat capacity in the SADF in most of the conflict and is a serving officer of the SANDF.
