The White Wolf
Original Air Date: 3.2.25
In 1989, four Afrikaner nationalists and one German mercenary killed a security guard at a United Nations outpost in Namibia. After escaping from custody, they fled home to South Africa. A possibly non-existent group called The White Wolves took credit for the wave of bombings that followed.

White Guns for Hire
Original Air Date: 3.27.25
In 1994, a second group of mercenaries arrived at the airport in Johannesburg... but no one was there to pick them up. Their host had been arrested days earlier, after the last group of mercenaries she'd hosted got into a deadly shootout with the South African police. But how did all these Germans end up in South Africa in the first place?

| 0:17.1 | Welcome back to the second of four installments of the holiday reruns here on Weird Little Guys. |
| 0:23.7 | Since Christmas and New Year's Day are both Thursdays this year, I was going to have to run two reruns in a row. |
| 0:31.0 | Instead of picking two random reruns, I'm using this opportunity to run my favorite mini-series of the year. |
| 0:38.8 | The eight episodes I wrote back in the spring about the international networks of right-wing |
| 0:42.8 | extremists who were trying to hold on to apartheid in South Africa. |
| 0:48.2 | The first two episodes popped up on your feet on Tuesday, making this episodes three and four |

| 1:19.8 | Huggett Stone, there was this curious claim that she was a member of the American Ku Klux Klan. |
| 1:29.5 | And when I was writing about this back in the spring, |
| 1:34.5 | I went to great lengths to try to figure out exactly what that might mean. |
| 1:42.2 | I found some interesting history involving a South African anti-Semite who claimed to be running a clan group in South Africa, a few years |
| 1:45.3 | before Monica would have been involved. And that helped a little bit, gave me some context. |
| 1:51.9 | But it didn't actually directly connect her to anything. It didn't explain how she became |
