    Pienaar: We're not going anywhere until someone ascertains Gambara's location. Listen to the radio. All I hear out of Crüwell is, "Where is Gambara? Where is Gambara?" When we know, then we move. 👍🏻

    Great video, shows how the politicians failed to keep their promises to the SADF Generals and their subordinates. What they did to 32 Bn and 31 Bn is disgusting and requires an accounting.

    if you apply patience discipline and focus to the littlest things it trains you to do so even more for what matters. EVERY army does this. You set an unachievable standard to strive too and make them immune to suffering. So many lessons here. This was one of the greatest armies ever assembled.

    In Oudtshoorn, I was fortunate enough to receive a mattress that resembled a banana shape it was so old and used. But true fortune favoured me, because underneath that mattress was a metal frame whose slats were broken in a few places. I bent them every single morning in a bell shaped curve, which then propped up said mattress into a rectangular box shape after all the tricks. I never used shaving cream I dont think. I used water from a spray bottle, and with an iron + dixie it was enough to get perfectly crisp 90degree corners on my bed sides. We won about 60-70% of our inspections and they were intense given the JL's leadership course we were on. Charlie Coy, Infantry School 1991.

    The USSR would have collapsed without the Lend-Lease Act and help from Britain (intelligence). Loss of food would have sealed the fate of the soviets (unless helped by foreign powers fighting for communism) The soviets got enough food from the USA to feed its soldiers for the rest of the war, 12 million boots , 60 percent aluminum and steel, a lot of tin , 90 percent of railway equipment ( the soviets would never have been able to conduct offensives so fast and transfer their main armies to critical points , 300000 trucks were given , 65 percent of aviation fuel and much more apart from 15 percent tanks ,aircrafts Soviet sympathizers say "only 15 per cent was given to USSR"

    We slept on the floor one time, and the corporal used a fire extinguishers to wake everyone up; huge mess than required massive after hour effort to remedy; wooden floors were permeated with white powder and we struggled to get it to shine. Spent the next few days carrying around sand bags during training as reminder to not try this again, and spent the nights cleaning our equipment, ironing and polishing floors.
