During one of Eastern Europe’s worst moments of the 20th century, Helge Meyer a former Jaeger Corps special forces of Denmark had a daring yet admirable plan to help civilians during the Bosnian War.

Helge Meyer approached the US Army commander in Bosnia with a bold plan, Mad Max-style tuning job of a second-generation 1979 Chevrolet Camaro that he would use to deliver supplies to civilians. And the us commander surprisingly agreed, so work was begun, armor was applied to the exterior and to the underside of the car, a mine-clearing blade was fixed on the front, run-flat tires were mounted on the wheels, infra-red absorbing paint, night vision, heat vision, and some nitrous, also a radio to keep in contact with air support.

Meyer’s and Camaro’s missions were astonishing, making deliveries during night and day. When not on duty, the car was very good at hiding from the police and army. Like something out of a James Bond movie, Meyer was involved in many car chases and even took a bullet to the head. But always managed to get away thanks to his timely shots into the V8 and great knowledge of back roads, and Camaro’s ability to be invisible on radars working perfectly.

He even had encounters with tanks, freaking TANKS in a camaro

While giving a talk to soldiers about his experiences in Bosnia, he ended the speech by saying that if God had a “Rambo” on Earth, it would probably be him. That statement got him the nickname “God’s Rambo.”


In one excerpt, he describes coming across a family in the ruined city of Vares, in 1994:

"In the middle of ruins I examined the surrounding area with my detector, which reacts to body heat. It displayed body heat in the opposite ruin. I saw candlelight through the boarded up door.

I knocked and the candle went out immediately. After knocking again and saying, “Mr. Meyer U.S. Army!” an old man opened the door and asked me inside. A young woman was present with her newborn baby.

Everyone was dirty and clearly malnourished, and I got soap, water, food, and baby food from my Camaro. The young mother washed herself and her child and gave the newborn something to eat. We sat around the candle silent for a while. The old man read carefully in his Koran and I in my Bible, which is my constant companion.

Then I pulled back into my car, was about to slip into my sleeping bag when someone knocked on my window. It was the young woman who put her baby on my bare chest.

I will never forget this moving moment in my life"

He spent the war tearing up the dirt roads and war-torn streets of Yugoslavia delivering supplies to those in need and outrunning the military and police who came after him.

If you want a more visualized version of this, there are videos of his story on youtube and i encouarage anyone who got this far to look them up :).
