Part 2 of the Congo Remasters, this one focusing on the Battle of Boende, the combined operation of 51 and 52 Commando in late October, 1964.
I feel like this video holds up pretty alright but the HD does add a lot, the video is 40 seconds shorter now but that was because I wanted to avoid a lot of the gratuitous gore of the original which really didn't age well.
But anyways, the video, enjoy.

Africa adió, what film, and what crew, famous for very shocking exploitation type movies like "mondo cano"
@@The_chokester it's Africa Addio and Mondo Cane, 1966 and 1962 respectively, everything you see is real, the documentary was censored because it showed atrocities and war crimes.

"He was naked except for a leather loincloth, amulets hung around his neck: monkey teeth, dried lizard heads, and some kind of snakeskin pouch. I ordered (my men) to give me this bag, the prisoner went mad. He fought so hard that three Catangians struggled to subdue him. I looked into the bag, there were four gold rings and a document in it. I was amazed. It was a diploma from a Czech University in Prague, Medical department. I ordered the captives face washed, the photo was right. My "savage" graduated medicine in Prague..."

The quality of this footage is unreal.
1960s analog has more high quality than today's modern digital cameras because there are no pixels. That's why Psycho is still being remastered.
Its ridiculous.... Looks so fucking clear!! Awesome stuff
because before digital cameras everyting was shot with analogic ones
I understand. However, footages this old tend to have bad qualities due to the decomposition of films in storage.
To think this footage is almost 60 years old!
Dude with beret and mustache and handheld browning m1919(?) with his sleeves rolled is THE ultimate man :D
Unlimited ammo too
Isn’t he Roland the headless Thompson gunner?

2:08 The gratitude from those nuns and priests liberated really got to me - few, if any, soldiers experience love and gratitude like that.
Yep. Once in a wile, the absolute dregs of society wind up the heroes. God works in mysterous ways; when hellraisers are sent to rescue Gods servants🙏🙌🌞

That smile at the end always gets my attention. He had a reason to be smiling, to be walking around in a war zone where death was a common thing with a calm looking attitude. And then in an instant, it’s gone. The feeling he had disappeared. Again snapping back to his reality and being reminded where he is.
He is smiling because he is still alive, and not one of the poor schmucks getting lead in the neck
@J Slomine I haven’t smile back, but I have been given a reality check

who is he? I have found that sometimes people smile when they are afraid.
You can actually see the oxidation in the metal of the oil drum. To the average viewer, they might not notice/care. But the fact that you took footage that's 57 years old and gave it that much quality is a testament to your art. Thank you for making these unique works.
You saw rust Doug. Interesting indeed.
Agreed fantastic footage.
Im curious of what kind of Camera did they use? Because in that era its still very rare to see some colored camera others are still using Black and White type
@@rouymalic4463 I'm guessing it was originally filmed on Super 8mm... black and white too
@@jackmomma7481 Its an Italian Documentary called Africa Addio or Africa: Blood and Guts
It always amazes me how today we ride around in our up-armored Humvees, MRAPs, M-ATVs, etc... wearing body armor and ballistic helmets. Meanwhile, back in the day, they rode around in close contact with the enemy in open-top jeeps wearing just uniforms and berets with an occasional steel helmet thrown in for good measure.
Because none of the enemy has capable anti-armor weapons in possession at the time. Hell, around the same time period, the VC is still armed with WW2 surplus and some bootleg copies until they were uparmed in 1967. Even the IED wasn't widespread until after the Vietnam War.
It is unfair to malign modern day mercs for their armor. Nowadays, rebels have capable arms to punch unarmored technicals...
@@axelpatrickb.pingol3228 I was talking about the modern militaries. But really I think it's more about the risk averse nature of the upper level of commands than the desires of the average infantryman.
Around the late 90's and 2000's, militaries started trying to make their soldiers highly survivable by issuing and requiring the wear of ceramic body armor, composite helmets, and various shrapnel-resistant add-ons like collars, shoulder armor and groin protectors. But in turn, that weighed troops down heavily.
Most soldiers, or at least the ones I served with, wanted to wear the bare minimum possible. So we would buy our own plate carriers and then opt for the smallest body armor plates allowed. Flexibility, endurance, and mobility are more important in my opinion.
All of those updated armored vehicles and PPE saved a wholeeee lot of lives in Iraq and Afghanistan
Personnel getting kitted out in armor was extremely cost prohibitive until recently. Even in the early 2000's, up armored vehicles like a Mercedes or even a Mitsubishi Pajero cost well over 75k. And as we all know, government being as efficient as it is, will gladly penny pinch. Therefore the sheer volume of fire used to suppress an enemy combatant was the name of the game. You can't shoot while getting shot at.
Better protection means more efficiency for the wearer to carry out every missions, the idea is to reduce the rate of being wounded which was very very high back then. It's not about being macho in combat it's about getting out alive
Ok....its been 3 in a week...whats going on Samm? Why do you bless us with so much primo quality content?
You ever have one of those days where you wake up feeling well rested at 5 and you head over to your local donut shop that opens crazy early and buy a whole box and then decide to watch some RUclips at home curled up in a blanket and you feel like life is good?
Well he's having that but it's a week long.
Yea the major is awesome
He is remastering his old congo war content. I love him for it

The original video of this is brutal as fuck. At the end the commander captures a guy who burnt down a school full of kids, and shoots him so non chalantly, I mean I don't blame him, but it's always insane to see somebody get shot point blank.
Yeah it definitely hits different when you see a guy legit get his brains blown out on camera. Combined with the surreal music made it a really visceral experience
you have source?
Edit: its "africa addio" crazy fkin shockumentary
I would have done the same. Far as I’m concerned, if you kill kids, your already dead. And someone needs to put him out of his misery
Where did you get the "burned a school full of kids" lie?? Link??
Well he died quickly that I'm sure. Point blank to the stomach and second to the head
It's a terrible feeling, knowing that such significant historical events will eventually be forgotten and inevitably repeated.
I am obsessed with your channel and your work MajorSamm, Thank you so much for enlightening me on so many conflicts I have never heard of and introducing me to some of the best songs I have ever heard in my life. Cheers.

Africa Addio is underrated. Should get screened again.

Oh nooo, we're fighting side by side with the Germans?!??
I don't know what it is about this song/footage combo but it always makes me think deeply about all that existential stuff. It's probably the heavy contrast of beautiful piece of art accompanying piece of harsh reality which in this case is war full of suffering and death. It just immediately makes me focus on the facets of life, how extreme it can get in both direction of greatness and atrociousness and how people's experience on this planet range from one end of the spectrum to the other often mainly due to luck or lack thereof.
Some spend all their life in success and abundance while others have fight for the scraps to survive each day and shoot each other to death

@@marcjansson1039 he looks like he's writhing around a bit, and just before that the cameraman drops. So the cameraman probably heard shots coming towards him, and they were directed at the guy in front of the 1919 guy.

The flames of humanity's kindness can be suppressed, but never put out.
Interesting collection of firearms, M1919 with FALs, G3s, CETME, MPLs, what looks like an FBP
"ACHKSHUALY" they are FN-30 (Modified 7.62 version of M1919), FALs, CETMEs (don't think there is any actual G3s there), Franchi LF-57s (the weird MPL thing), and Vignerons (which do indeed resemble FBPs)
Think I saw an FN49 in there too, or something similar with a fixed magazine. Around 0:11.
A nice ensemble of weapons
Definitely a Belgian Vigneron sub gun around 3:33 -3:40.
You chose the perfect song for this.Just wonderful
I like how you can always make a violent footage of fighting with appealing background music.
I like when they smile, they look happy and calm, it impresses me that they all look too calm after the intense battle they went through and also in the scene where they were passing through the bodies they don't even care about them, it makes you think of how many action this men saw
Lots of them were WW2 veterans, the core of Major Mike's 'Mad Lads'. Even some German veterans.
Mans went in for the lips at 2:22
😅
It's one of my favorite parts of the movie. A friend of mine was insulted by it, but that man just saved a child of God from torture, doom, and death. I'm not gay, but I'd kiss that man on the lips if he saved me from that nightmare.
These absolute Chad's are getting what they deserve. Getting remembered
can we just take a minute to appreciate the bravery of the cameraman/men?
The eyepatch guys seems like sucha well-functioning, upstanding member of society

2:08 always gives me a fuzzy warm feeling, that genuine relief and gratefulness of the missionaries is heartwarming
MajorSamm will always have a place in my heart btw, it was him and his lads analysing the Ukraine war starting live on stream, just 2 hours after it starting and I was there, watching history as it happened. not kiding, if I'll ever have grandchildren I'll mention him while retelling my memories

3:43 His face change marks the ultimate Bruh moment
This is a nice video, image quality is improved, however I still like the original with Roland the Thompson gunner more. In this, the footage is centered around the actual fighting, rescuing and securing of the town, and omits the atrocities, which makes it more palatable, shall we say. I'd recommend showing this to new people first, and then the heavier stuff if they're interested. But, due to this, this lacks the sobrieting 'punch' of the original, and I feel that's essential to understand what happened there.
I watched Addio Africa (in Italian with subs, as there were comments about how the American dub changed things) after discovering this channel, so I can tell to those who haven't seen it that these fighting scenes are in the last 30-20 minutes of the film, the rest is about how the transition, the departure of colonial administration happened. These include the warcrimes. It's an utterly mindblowing movie, if you consider that the crew went there and filmed during actual genocide. And they don't pull away, they show the bodies. There are two things tho. First, there were claims that some scenes were staged, because they seem too sensational, like the skull in that puddle. I can't approve or disprove those claims. Second thing is the tone of the film, which I can't quite put my finger on. On one hand, it's anti-colonial, showing the backwardness of the colonial elite, portaying them weak and outdated, but on the other, it mercilessly tells how fucked up the locals can be and that the British laws kept the wildlife untouched. Like, they show how the new gov portioned the white farmers' villas out, but where once lived a few hundred, they put in 10000. On top of this, the locals couldn't make do with the European houses, and completely ruined them. Some of these scenes go so far, they resemble a 19. century book about Africa to me. Anyway, I definitely recommend it, if your stomach can handle it.
A FAL, a 1911, grenades, box of cigs, wrap of cocaine, bottle of scotch whisky, ammo, US dollars plus Congolese Francs, morphine, combat knife & a b&w photo of the missis against the Simba.
Complete chaos and a smoothing song, what a pair.
best moment 2:14 when the priest hugs the cameraman too

God bless your editing and song choices astonishing!
I love these videos.
You say that the gore in the last one didn’t age well. Personally, I kinda Felt that it added to the melancholy vibe that these videos are known for.
Remember, we’re talking about people killing each other. I think it’s more disingenuous to not show the consequences of these actions and just show the exciting stuff. But obviously go with your creative vision. The videos will be great regardless. =)
I also understand if it’s for monetization purposes.
Even if he includes the consequences, a lot of people here will just flat out ignore it for the "exciting" part...
I regularly put the original on whenever I’m driving. The only issue I had with it was the low volume so this is nice
A Master Piece to inspire a generation.
Im astonished by the quality of that film. For 1964 it's amazing
The footage is from a documentary called “africa: blood and guts” which came out in 1966 it basically was about all that happened from 1960-1966 in africa
