The White Wolf

Original Air Date: 3.2.25

In 1989, four Afrikaner nationalists and one German mercenary killed a security guard at a United Nations outpost in Namibia. After escaping from custody, they fled home to South Africa.  A possibly non-existent group called The White Wolves took credit for the wave of bombings that followed.

White Guns for Hire

Original Air Date: 3.27.25

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?
