Description: Known amongst Friend and Foe as "The Terrible Ones" (Os Terriveis), this reputation was derived from operational successes and from its inception in 1975 until it's disbandment it was the most feared Unit by it's foes in Angola and South West Africa, and accounted for more enemy losses than any other Unit of the South African Defence Force. 32-Battalion was probably the most controversial unit of the SADF and its story virtually the untold story of the SWA/ Namibian Border War - a war which took place against the back-drop of the Cold War and which was in fact anything but cold in Africa. The battalion, which also became known as the most successful counter insurgency unit of the SADF, was comprised mainly of former FNLA and other anti-communist fighters from Angola who had sworn allegiance to the South African government. Together with their South African officers, these troops forged a formidable battalion that became known as the best operational Battalion of the South African Defence Force -- if not one of the best in the world.

Jediwarriormedic ::: Favorites I never fought nor was a member of 32 Battalion but I was a ops medic who would often give them stitches and medical support. Yeah they would show modern armies a thing or too. The SAS, and navy seals could learn from these guys. I also once saw a documentary on the French Foreign Legion and heard some of the accents and dialects used by ex RECCEs and 32 Battalion members...Vasbyt 07-07-22 06:01:48 _____________________________________________________
