The Real Siege of Jadotville - A Congo Documentary
Go to ground.news/majorsamm for local perspectives on global issues. My link gets you 40% off the Ground News unlimited access Vantage plan.
The Siege of Jadotville was one of the largest battles of the UN deployment to Katanga, for five days 159 men from the Irish, Swedish and Norwegian contingents of the ONUC fought off some 600 - 1,000 Katangese Gendarmes and mercenary officers.
Despite the battles fame nowadays, there's no comprehensive documentaries covering the battle and as viewers of this channel well know, the film does more harm than good. So this is my attempt to shed some light on what went on there for those five days, primarily through the eyes of A Company, 35th Infantry Battalion.

Despite making a lot of edits this video is likely to be taken down very quickly so enjoy it while you can. It was originally supposed to be released on the 29th. I watched the Siege of Jadotville for the first time since it was released a few weeks ago. I've read a few books since it came out and wanted to see if it held up... it didn't. This isn't a comprehensive "everything wrong with" nor i...
