The aftermath After the dust had settled, the smell of gun powder had dispersed, the crashing sound of mortars and RPG7s had faded away what ghosts returned with young South African soldiers of the border war generation who fought at the tip of the spear against the communist threat on South Africas border? Young parabats, manufactured by the formidable factory of 1 Parachute Battalion, had been rushed to the forefront of the action in the Border War.
19 with a Bullet
A rough, tough Bat in the bush wars of Namibia and Angola
A fast-moving, action-packed account of Granger Korffs two years service during 1980/81 with 1 Parachute Battalion at the height of the South African bush war in South West Africa (Namibia) and Angola. Apart from the standard counter-insurgency activities of Fireforce operations, ambushing and patrols, to contact and destroy SWAPO guerrillas, he was involved in several massive South African Defence Force (SADF) conventional cross-border operations, such as Protea, Daisy and Carnation, into Angola to take on FAPLA (Angolan MPLA troops) and their Cuban and Soviet allies.
Bat out of Hell - the follow up
Now in the same civilian clothes they had worn before, many returning troops found they were not the same young men as before. For many South African troepies from different military units and phases of the bush war, the dust and the smoke took years to settle; parts of their souls were forever connected to, and travelled back, to a time when birds erupted from trees in a smoke filled battle zone, like bats out of hell to the smell of the ambush, the head count after the contact, visions of the conventional battle fields of Angola, chasing hot spoor trails in Namibia.
