White Guns for Hire

from Weird Little Guys Hosted by iHeartPodcasts and Cool Zone Media

In 1994, a second group of mercenaries arrived at the airport in Johannesburg... but no one was there to pick them up. Their host had been arrested days earlier, after the last group of mercenaries she'd hosted got into a deadly shootout with the South African police. But how did all these Germans end up in South Africa in the first place? https://www.propublica.org/article/vasilios-pistolis-imprisoned-marine-hate-groups Sources: Simonelli, F. J. (1999).
