I've been telling Count Dankula to cover Mad Mike Hoare since like 1 Year in every Comment Section! It finally happened! Now he has to cover the interesting Mercenaries he hired, including "Kongo Müller" the most legendary German One who was a German WW2 Veteran For those curious about this Conflict there is a Documentary without censoring on TH-cam called "Africa Addio" from the 1960s which follows these Mercenaries and doesn't shy away from anything.

@@darkno6493Not as uncommon as you'd think. Many of the men who brought Britain to the negotiation table on its knees had served in the British army, attended British schools and moved in their high social circles to study them. The money was good and the intelligence gathered was priceless.
1000% recommend Lt. Col Mike Hoare's audiobooks if you want something incredible to listen to. From his time fighting a brutal war in the Congo, all the way to his failed coup against the Seychelles, and with many non-combat adventures around, all of which are fantastic and actually read by the man himself. His stories of the South African involvement in the Seychelles Affair are very interesting indeed, but for me the greatest accounts are of the Congo Crisis and the incredible military actions involved, from amphibious assaults to ultra-long range raids behind enemy lines. 10/10 audiobooks, would listen to the words "ritual torture" another thousand times.
Now I've seen the video as well, I'll say his account of the Seychelles Affair was completely different, especially everything in regards to the supposed airline highjacking, Mikes account is massively different. Obviously he has reasons to lie, but from much of what I've read I feel as though he is probably telling far more of the truth than many other men involved, and his time in prison was really really bad. Would recommend you listen to it Dank, all those books are so incredibly good.
Mad Mike lived in Hilton, Kwa-Zulu Natal in the 80's. I moved to that village in the early 90's. It was reported in I believe The Natal Witness that a large cache of firearms and explosives had been unearthed in the garden of a property in the village, and this was attributed to Mike. At the time many were storing - shall we say - supplies and tools so without knowledge of the property it's difficult to say if it was actually his cache discovered. Hilton to this day is a lovely village, about 20min away from Pietermaritzburg. And many flight hours away from me currently, which sometimes I lament.
My dad was all but homeless after leaving the army. One night stumbling home drunk he saw a poster "ex-special forces wanted" and the rest is Seychelois history.
I guess great is a perspective thing, but good and sane people don't tend to become soldiers of fortune, and moral fiber isn't strictly what you're looking for when you're fighting what's more or less an orc horde. You need experienced men and hardware.
Ive heard from other Mercs that hoare was mainly a showman. he got paid mucho dinero for his stint in the Congo crisis, but many Mercs were not paid what they were promised.
Doesn't surprise me that there was so much interest in making the congo a democratic country as 70% of the worlds supply of cobalt comes from Congo and well, one of the reasons the west despise communism is because they don't allow others countries to buy their land and mine their natural resources while only leaving the country with less than 5% of the profits. Hence why that massive country in Asia is wealthy as they make 90% of the profits from the natural resources found in their own country.
@@Skelaththat’s not why said country is wealthy. China is a net importer of basically all raw goods, and actually don’t have much in the way of natural resources left. They buy all their rare earth minerals from western companies, their food comes mostly from the US. Their wealth comes from the massive manufacturing base that has poisoned most of their arable land and water.
unfortunately for the SImbas, the mercenaries had WW2 veteran officers who fought fanatic japanese and even Soviets in the Eastern front who loved attacking in human wave attacks.
The disparity was kind of wild on many points. Sure, groups like 5 Commando rocked quite a lot of WW2 surplus, but often, the Simbas barely had any fucking guns at all, and there's legit an instance where a single WW2 fighter plane with machineguns absolutely routs the Simbas because they had 0 anti-air capability of any kind.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine true, the simbas were a mishmash of forces some were well eqiupped from captured guns and even vehicles from the Congo gov army and Chinese Soviet supplied weapons, and many were just armed with spears, arrows , machetes.
Thats why i have been telling Dankula to cover Hoare in the Comments since almost a Year, because being German myself, a ton of our WW2 Eastern Front Hardcore Vets went to fight together with Irish, French, Americans, British, Irish etc under the Command of Hoare in the Congo. In fact, almost 40% of the Mercenaries were former Axis WW2 Veterans who also often wore their Iron Crosses in the Congo of which the most famous one is "Siegfried Müller" aka "Kongo Müller" who was the only Axis WW2 Vet under Hoare who was very very open towards the Press and didn't care about being misrepresented or other Media Nonsense.

Never saw it. I think Wild Geese 2 is a decent cold war caper b-movie. But I seem to be in the minority. Though, based on what I read, maybe it should not have been called Wild Geese 2.
Wild Geese is a cool flick. Funny fact, the guy who plays "Tosh" in the movie served under Mike as a mercenary in Africa. Allegedly there were a few other legit mercenaries on set for consulting. Kinda gives it a little more of a realistic feel
Oh, and Tosh (real name Ian Yule) was also a Para and in the SAS. They made him an on set advisor, weapons instructor, and an actor. In one scene he's wearing the SAS beret with the winged dagger, and it's his personal one he wore during his service. So basically he wasn't really an actor at all and was just "being himself" in front of a camera 😂
And he’s probably for the most part bs. And by most I mean A LOT of his stories and his ‘hits’ are fabricated. IRL, he was probably a criminal who worked in a porno distribution ring and carried out a few hits before getting the book thrown at him. If you know mob history, he definitely did not take part in the killings of Carmine Galante and Paul Castellano, both of which are some of the most publicised mob hits. Lastly, his so called ‘mentor’ or ‘friend’, Roy Demeo, barely or even didn’t know who he was and the Demeo Crew are actually the real Mad Lads here since they carried out dozens of hits for the mob in such a brutal fashion.
Could you imagine the conversation when they were making props for the movie " So you drove a jeep? That should be easy enough" " Yeeeaaaa.... Uh well it's... Not really that simple "
@CountDankula during the angolan-namibian war circa 1978 as a conscript in Oshakati I had the illuminating experience of serving under a RSM Barnard... who at the age of 17 had been a mercenary in the congo under mike hoare... RSM Barnard was well baked and tightly wrapped to say the least but always entertaining...

And he’s probably for the most part bs. And by most I mean A LOT of his stories and his ‘hits’ are fabricated. IRL, he was probably a criminal who worked in a porno distribution ring and carried out a few hits before getting the book thrown at him. If you know mob history, he definitely did not take part in the killings of Carmine Galante and Paul Castellano, both of which are some of the most publicised mob hits. Lastly, his so called ‘mentor’ or ‘friend’, Roy Demeo, barely or even didn’t know who he was and the Demeo Crew are actually the real Mad Lads here since they carried out dozens of hits for the mob in such a brutal fashion.
Did he do the Barefoot Bandit yet?
@@vapormissilenot yet… The Barefoot Bandit has been a Mad Lad I’ve been requesting as well.
absolute mad lads - barbeque when.
Jimmy Chérizier ?
@@Neanderthal1 shhhh if you use the french name he won't do it
I'm slowly getting the sense that Dank owns as many fun hats as Ian McCollum.
Mad Mike: "No war?!..... Let me make one!"
Mercs without a homeland?
That… sounds familiar.

In a roundabout way mike is in an anime with vampires. I will not explain further.
"I feel like I just casted a fucking spell."

Intro and ad over at 3:28
Insane timing, I've been reading all of his books the past few weeks. You can tell he really had a passion for leading his men.
"MOBUTU!!!"
*Uday flies into a rage*
17:03 The 1900s....making me feel old Dank!
0:00 I love you so much for that one Boss 😂
Always a happy moment when the realisation hits that there’s a new Dankula video!!!
Cia is eyeballing dank for putting them lol.
Siegfried Müller was not in the SS the press invented that bit to gather more attention.
He was an Oberfähnrich in the Wehrmacht at the end of WW2.
Mad lad recombination, Jack Malloch. A Rhodesian sanction buster and katanga weapons smuggler.
Could you imagine the conversation when they were making props for the movie
" So you drove a jeep? That should be easy enough"
" Yeeeaaaa.... Uh well it's... Not really that simple "
"Do absolutely nothing and still somehow make things worse" fuckin sent me. Applies to SO many people, lmao.
That’s the only thing the un is good at
6:07 BALD BALD BALD BALD
Can’t think of someone more deserving of a Madlad episode!
I hope there is a special place in hell for the marketing department of Raid Shadow Legions.
I'm so glad this man is getting covered by you!
Yep the looting of stanleyville was portrayed in the excellent documetary Africa Addio. you even had naked mercenaries stealing appliances hahah
@CountDankula during the angolan-namibian war circa 1978 as a conscript in Oshakati I had the illuminating experience of serving under a RSM Barnard... who at the age of 17 had been a mercenary in the congo under mike hoare... RSM Barnard was well baked and tightly wrapped to say the least but always entertaining...
"Dank was a warrior from the land of the haggis fun, with a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done..."
Congo Mercenary 💪💪💪 Headless Thompson Gunner vibes
Yes finally!!!! This man singlehandedly changed the landscape of Paramilitary/ "Mercenary" industry forever, absolute legend.
Frederick Forsyth's Dogs of War is a brilliant illustration of this time in Africa. The audiobook is one of my favourite readings of any book.
23:06 My absolute favorite part of the whole video.
"He was a Hoare for War."
Mad lad request!
John Paul Jones, the American revolutionary sailor who sank a lot of British ships and even led an attack on the British mainland. This assault failed when his crew bailed and got drunk in the Whitehaven pub.
He later went on to play bass in a small time band in the seventies called Greta van fleet
0:03 A lot of immersive video games and movies.

"Getting shot at by palm trees speaking Menu "
Thats f"cking hilareous!
Video featuring Mad Mike Hoare:
"I swear I've heard of him, let me just look him up on wikipedi-" *MERCENARY DURING CONGO CRISIS*
Oh we're in for a hell of a time
He really glosses over it briefly, you seriously oughta read more about the guy, as well as the Simba Rebellion in particular, it's an incredibly goddamn interesting war.
WHOO! An Irishman for Paddy's Day and all. Hope to see more of the Irish in the future Daidí Dank!
My Grandfather was a Mad Lad himself, he owned this movie & died in 22. love your content Dankula.
yah watched Wild Geese when it first came out in 78 , I vividly remember it since my car broke down in traffic in 35 C heat in my first attempt going to watch the movie. anyways yes a banger of a movie with teh UK greats like Burton, Moore, Harris.
"studying things like tribal cave paintings as though he was in modern London." - JFC that's good.
Lads, if you want a Hoare related Vibe that will have you reaching for your FAL, Shorts and boots:
*MajorSamm* -Policing the unpoliceable, Congo '64
-The liberation of Boende, Congo '64
-Guns For Hire, Congo '64
Includes combat pet monkeys & parrots, eye patches, Running M1919 hip fire, Looting, Drinking and Close air support with prop planes.
HOLY SHIT MY BOY IS BALDING LIKE CRAZY!
That is uncanny…..
I just read about this guy 😂
Just finished two days ago
Been waiting for this one for a very long time.
Also quick note 25:55 The word 'Dawa' isn't just specific to communist commisar warlocks. It just means 'medicine' in Swahili. My favourite dawa as a kid was Calpol and I now know 3 incantations that summon Karl Marx.
Also hit up Roman von Ungern Sternberg next. Imperialist Russian-German warlord who took over Mongolia after the Bolsheviks booted him out of Russia and was declared the reincarnated God of War by the Dalai Lama
Based and Merc pilled.
Jeep decorated with human heads - 100% Gigachad
37:22 is exactly why I have loved this channel since the german chris chan days. I really hope Dank gets all the success he deserves, cheers .
NEW MAD LAD?? Right as im about to drive across the country?? This will make the first hour of my drive INCREDIBLE!
"Congo Müller" who fought for Hoare deserves his own episode 😅
Klaus Kinski would also be a funny one
6:06 the real reason why he always wears a hat . Nothing bad in being bald, Dankula has just a fuckton of testosterone, that's why he is going bald
GYAT
@@dravenhardcastle8668 about that pricks face when he saw the GYAT 😮
oh yes, i've seen this man's balls and the world cannot contain them
It's genetic.
@@Derna1804 it's a joke. Just like his dog doing a nazi salute but people took it way too seriously and he almost ended up in jail.
8:13 this line cracked me up god damn
I caught my first ever yellow bass in my new 10 foot john boat two days ago.
🫡🫡🫡
Hell yeah brother
You weren’t wrong Dank, Africa Addio is absolutely brutal
Perfect for Sunday afternoon.
Getting shot at by palm trees speaking menu
That is gold, absolutely gold
MAD MIKE’S ROUGHNECKS!
I'm beginning to suspect Dank is a CIA Psyop.
