Story
In the film 'Across the border', four white South African veterans who fought on the border of occupied Namibia and Angola in the 70s and 80s together with thousands of other young white conscript soldiers reflect on their terrifying adventures. They were part of the elite Crowbar unit, a death squad responsible for killing many people. During the South African Border War, they fought against what was known as the Rooi gevaar (red danger), the government term for the ANC and SWAPO liberation movements.

This clip got nothing to do with "Crowbar"(Koevoet). The guy who's telling his story got no idea what he is talking about. The footage shown is the SANDF. Not Koevoet who was a SAP unit. Ask me, I was there for more than 2 years.

[@Sethzarr]

+Pieter Marais koevoet was south west africa police unit not a south african police unit. but i agree. the guy talking doesnt have a clue.

[@zoltancsikos5604]

Pieter Marais A lot of that isn’t the SANDF, but the SADF.

[@kenbird9017]

Horse shit!

[@mazambane286]

@@Sethzarr Koevoet only transferred over from the SAP to SWAPOL in 1985. Most of the white members were SAP members on secondment to SWAPOL.

[@awvdm7434]

Misinformation / Misleading.... the SADF had nothing to do with SWAPOL-COIN / KOEVOET.... The recording material are people sharing their experiences whilst with the SADF...

[@stokiesdrie1564]

The war veterans must tell their real stories not those who share hearsay

[@jayvosloo6382]

BIGEST LOT OF SHIT EVER I WAS THERE AS A YOUNG POLICE OFFICER AND CURRENTLY ARE 65 and totally GREY THIS GUY LOOK THE SAME AGE THAT I WAS 43 years ago

[@stokiesdrie1564]

Lt Gen Hans"Sterk" Dryer was a one of a kind commander and Koevoet was one of the best- in Namibia he was called "Kamunue"

[@billfear6910]

dont know what this clip is about but it has nothing to do with Koevoet. It seems like some sort of random cobbled together clip about nothing in particular

[@oldlifter530]

What the heck has para got to do with police crowbar unit this is bull

[@pierrefourie5753]
