The Gericke Files

<p>This episode marks a turning point for Hangar 51 Files.</p><p>For the first time, we move beyond narration and archival reconstruction into direct testimony — filmed inside Hangar 51 Studios — with two men whose lives were shaped by a war that never truly ended when the ceasefires were signed.</p><p>One is <strong>David Scales</strong>, a former Rhodesian SAS operator and Selous Scout who later served in South Africa’s 5 Reconnaissance Regiment. His career unfolded in deniable spaces — cross-border operations, counter-insurgency, and the long afterlife of Southern Africa’s dirty wars, where loyalties were provisional and maps meant very little.</p><p>The other is <strong>Patrick Gericke</strong>, a former Rhodesian explosive ordnance disposal specialist who made the improbable transition into the Zimbabwe National Army after independence. Officially, he was one of the few former Rhodesians absorbed into Mugabe’s new military structure. Unofficially, he was operating as a covert agent for South African military intelligence.</p><p>In 1981, Gericke was arrested by Zimbabwean authorities and accused of sabotaging Inkomo Barracks — a critical military installation outside Harare storing millions of dollars’ worth of weapons and matériel. The explosion sent shockwaves through a fragile new state already gripped by paranoia, internal purges, and unresolved external threats.</p><p>What followed was imprisonment, interrogation, and a silence that lasted decades.</p><p>Until now.</p><p>In this episode, both men speak — on record, in full — about what happened next: a deniable extraction operation deep inside hostile territory, conducted by a covert South African special forces unit, in a mission that does not officially exist and was never meant to surface.</p><p>This is not a story of heroes or villains. It is a study in unfinished wars, intelligence tradecraft, fractured loyalties, and the grey zones that emerge when political settlements outpace the realities on the ground.</p><p>No mythology. No hindsight moralising. Just lived experience — finally placed into the historical record.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

🎙️Prelude to the Impossible Rescue: Cold War Shadows, Rhodesia’s Fall, and the War That Never Ended

<p>Before there was a prison break. Before there was a classified mission. Before two men disappeared into the shadows of Southern Africa’s most dangerous decade—there was a war most people don’t understand, and a Cold War game few have ever heard of.</p><p>This <strong>audio prelude</strong> provides the essential background for those unfamiliar with the covert power struggle that gripped Africa in the aftermath of decolonisation. From the Rhodesian Bush War to the chaotic birth of Zimbabwe, this short narrative briefing will prepare you for what follows in our <strong>first-ever video podcast</strong>, filmed at the brand new <strong>Hangar 51 Studios</strong>.</p><p>That episode—<strong>The Gericke Files: Unofficial Wars, Unwritten Rules, The Impossible Rescue</strong>—is a landmark longform interview with two men who never expected to speak publicly. This audio introduction sets the table for the operation that didn’t exist, in a war that never ended.</p><p>🎧 <strong>Listen now to understand what really happened in Rhodesia—and why it still matters today.</strong></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
