Security police obtained information that external trained freedom fighters established the first training camp in Ovamboland in May 1966. “Catch them” ordered Prime Minister Verwoerd. This was the first time that a combined attack force of police, troops and Air Force acted against intruders. Their attack on the Ongulumbashe base on August 26th, 1966 was probably responsible for the start of the 23 years border war. This is an action packed eye witness report and a look behind the scenes of Operation Blouwildebees, an operation with many firsts, particularly of interest to history lovers.
