19 With a Bullet by Granger Korff
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 4MB
Overview: A fast moving, action packed account of Granger Korff’s 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. Having grown up as an East Rand rebel street fighter, Korff’s military ‘career’ is marred with controversy. He is always in trouble going AWOL on the eve of battle in order to get to the front; facing a court martial for beating up, and reducing to tears, a sergeant-major in front of the troops; fist fighting with Drug Squad agents; arrested at gunpoint after the gruelling seven week, 700km Recce selection endurance march are but some of the colourful anecdotes that lace this account of service in the SADF.
