Thank you General for this interesting set of talks, thanks Tony for organising this, a Merry Christmas to you and your family and I look forward to more Fighting men of Rhodesia next year.
Tony: amazing interviews all around. Thank everybody for their contributions. Please are the any updates on John, please send him our regards, we miss him and are thinking after him.
Thank you very much, Tony, for a great interview and for John with the South African General he is an amazing man. For the people asking questions about South Africas communications system during the war. We had a channel hoping system which the Americans could not wait to get their hands on our channel hoping comms system legally. Our SF made use of morse code but it would be brief comms which would not have made sence to any one picking it up if they were so lucky as it was very brief.
@@hennies9509 Thanks, but I was talking about SA listening to FAPLA, not the hopper comms. Something I have seldom heard mention is that a bunch of South African engineers figured out a way to de hop the frequency hopper radios without access to the codes. This is something that was an amazing feat of engineering at the time, but can now be done with less than $100 of electronics and a laptop.
I am curious about the monitoring of FAPLA radio traffic? Was their radio comms encrypted? Was it voice or Morse? Did SA forces have deciphering and translation capabilities in the field or did the traffic have to be sent back to Pretoria or Silvermine?

Roland, when comparing losses do you include UNITA losses too?
