EPISODE 8 – Xangongo, Humbe and Techipa
We depart from Xangongo for a quick stop at Humbe, the first target on 24 August 1981 allocated to 61 Mech Battalion Group during Operation Protea. After all these years the presence of a Blue Bull in the attacking force finally explains the empty target…we hear about some of the experiences of a platoon commander, the fear of the unknown and the love life of a soldier after an unexpected question by Wietz Coetzee. Sarel Coetzee who served as a gunner in the tank squadron during Op Excite goes down memory lane and explains how it feels to be back after 30 years in these old stomping grounds
