Valskermbataljon Verhale 2

Met die reusesukses van Valskermbataljon-verhale wat verlede jaar verskyn het, is daar ʼn groot aanvraag vir nog stories uit die penne van valskermsoldate wat elkeen op ʼn unieke manier en in hul eie woorde hul ervarings in dié elite-eenheid deel. Derhalwe verskyn Valskermbataljonverhale 2 propvol nog uitsonderlike ware verhale vanjaar.
Die aanvraag vir ʼn opvolgboek het nie slegs van lesers gekom nie, maar ook van talle 
valskermsoldate wat ook graag hul stories van uiters uitdagende opleiding, operasionele 
kontak met die vyand, kameraadskap en humor wil deel. Stories wat hulle al vir dekades met hulle saamdra en nou met almal kan deel.
Soos met die eerste boek is hierdie stories van deernis, waagmoed, waaghalsigheid, 
deursettingsvermoë en uiterste lojaliteit, geskryf in die taal en styl van elke individuele 
soldaat; elkeen se eie ervarings in sy eie woorde in beide Afrikaans en Engels. Stories wat 
eerlik en opreg geskryf is, oor ʼn tyd wat die lewens van duisende soldate en hul geliefdes 
onomkeerbaar verander het.
Valskermbataljon-verhale 2 is stories van moed, deursettingsvermoë, gevaar, humor, vasbyt en verlies wat die leser by tye laat regop sit, glimlag en ook diep laat nadink.
Hierdie is ʼn boek nie net vir en oor soldate nie, maar vir elkeen wat nog ooit gewonder het oor die manne in maroen, hul valskerms en die eenheid.

Following the remarkable success of Valskermbataljon-verhale, published last year, there 
has been a strong demand for more stories penned by paratroopers, each sharing in a 
unique way and in their own words, their experiences within this elite unit. Consequently, 
Valskermbataljon-verhale 2 is being published this year, filled with yet more exceptional true accounts.
The demand for a follow-up volume has arisen not only from readers, but also from numerous paratroopers who wish to share their own stories of 
exceptionally demanding training, operational engagement with the enemy, camaraderie, and humour — stories they have carried with them for decades and can now share more widely.
As with the first volume, these stories of compassion, courage, daring, perseverance, and unwavering loyalty are written in the language and style of each individual soldier; each recounting his own experiences in his own words, in both Afrikaans and English. They are honest and sincere narratives of a time that irrevocably changed the lives of thousands of soldiers and their loved ones.
Valskermbataljon-verhale 2 presents stories of bravery, endurance, danger, humour, resilience, and loss — stories that will at times cause the reader to pause, to smile, and to reflect deeply.
This is a book not only for and about soldiers, but for anyone who has ever wondered about the men in maroon, their parachutes, and the unit. 
His organisation is known as the “last resort” for cases that other institutions are unable to solve.
His Christian values form the foundation of his work, and he is committed to the rehabilitation of crime victims.
His unwavering dedication has established him as a pioneer in the fight against crime.
