The 1995 short film 'The Last Days of Colonel Savath' by Norodom Sihanouk, in 4 parts with subtitles, depicting events of 1975, leading up to the fall of Phnom Penh. (38mins)
Interesting, if only for some historical footage. Had a quick look to see if it has been posted before but didn't see it.

The kids driving the jeeps ...

"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."

Yeah, the "Kid Rouge" is fantastic. However it's a bit concerning that he has to drive in front of the convoy....The rocket elephants are way out there too!
There's some fantastic footage in there, I've seen some of it before but more just as quick clips.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
The kid in the jeep looks very confident, with an assertive yank on the shifter and he's off.Lucky Lucan wrote:Spigzy wrote:The kids driving the jeeps ...

The rocket elephants are something else. It was possibly the last time elephants were used in warfare. The Japanese used them in Burma for carrying supplies, but I didn't come across any other 'modern' examples.
