Well, I hadn't heard of yopur project, Panzerknacker, but it sounds really interesting. That incident in Mogadishu in 1993 quite impressed me and the film was superb... So, there is just missing a little reading...

Of course Friedrich-well, basically after I saw the film and read the book, i thought that a good way to remember these guys was to write an article for our site here, and so I have been doing that for some time now---

Did you see his movie: "To Hell and Back' or read his book of the same name?

At any rate--they are A # 1 in my book.

Well as High-Command inspired shambles go this one is a great study: arrogance, incompetence, politics and stupidity combined.

The best way to honour these men would be to take all the US officers who insisted on trying to control this operation from Tampa and shooting them.

This op made me very angry as you can tell..
