Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner

The following are a series of war correspondence films from the Simba Rebellion in the Congo in 1964, 65 set to the tune of Roland the Thompson Gunner by Warren Zevon. The film features a platoon of mercenaries from Europe conducting a platoon attack on the town of Boende in the Cong. The mercenaries primarily come from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Of note there is an exss officer in the film according to the source, I can t confirm this though. EDIT: The German officer is Siegfried Müller, one of the mercenary captains. He was a Wehrmacht First Lieutenant in World War 2, not an SS officer. It features some brutal combat and the summary execution of a rebel so it is NSFW. Background knowledge on the clip: 0:00 0:48: Belgium paratroopers walking through the aftermath of the Stanleyville massacre. Whites and Congolese alike were shot dead by the rebels. They primarily targeted Christians. 0:48 2:40: 40 Americansupplied European mercenaries conduc
