Katanga 1961-63 - "Swedens last war"

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

As president Tshombe promised to behave, the political UN leader O´Brien ordered UN forces out of E-ville.

Munongos actions against Kasai-Baluba grew worse and UN troops were ordered back to E-ville.

13th September 1961 at 04H00 "Operation Morthor" (Hindi for smash and grab) was carried out in the same pattern as operation "Rumpunch" before.

This time there was no surprise any longer. The UN troops were bogged down in heavy battle. Dogras loosing one KiA and 4 WiA. Swedish Bn lost one KiA (Major Gallon), 2 severely WiA and several slightly wonded.

President Tshombe dissapeared from E-ville.
