Ep. #240. Medak Pocket, with Rudy Bajema

Ep. #240. Medak Pocket, with Rudy Bajema

In August 1993, the 2nd Battalion PPCLI, (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) augmented with several reserve units engaged in the largest battle since the Korean War. The place, was a little town in Croatia known as the Medak Pocket.

The Croatian Civil War is largely forgotten by the world, but not by those who were there. For some reason, precious little has been written or recorded about the Croatian Civil war, and very little of the history has been preserved. The United Nations invented a new term, "Ethnic Cleansing" to replace the word Genocide, so as to minimize the reality of the slaughter of civilians in that region.

The French forced attempted to hold the ground, but failed in their mission. They were replaced with the Canadian troops, who held the ground despite incredible odds.

For more than four days the battle raged on but the Canadians held firm, keeping the Croatians at bay. Out manned, and out gunned, the Canadians were successful in keeping most of the Serb civilians alive.

The Canadian Government, and the United Nations buried the story. To this day most Canadians have no Idea about the courage and gallantry of their Soldiers at the battle of Medak Pocket.

Find out more by reading "The Ghosts of Medak Pocket" the story of Canada's secret war.

A HUGE, heartfelt hank you to Rudy Bajema for sharing his story with me, on his first ever podcast appearance.
