Fighting Men of Rhodesia ep196 | DPO Keith Chisnall part 2 | BSAP Special Branch

A third generation Rhodesian tells the story of his upbringing on a farm and his days learning to track and survive in the brush. Later he would use the knowledge operational conditions during the Rhodesian War. In classic Special Branch style you will not find an account of a unit called Pachedu in the history books, but it existed. These are historical facts with convert and overt operations which have never been made public before. Keith Chisnall was born in Sinoia in the farming area of Rhodesian in 1957. He joined the BSA Police and was posted to the Centenary District, right at the start of Operation Hurricane and the civil war which tore through the country. He spent time in Zambezi Valley and joined Special Branch where he was part of a clandestine operational team. Today he is a professional guide and spends time painting and working with the wild animals he loves. Many thanks to Tony Ballinger for setting up the interview!
