Helge Meyer's Story

Just like the fabulous Blues Brothers, Helge was on a mission from God. This is the true story of Helge Meyer. He made it his mission to help the starving children and their families of former war-torn Yugoslavia from 1991 -1995.

Yugoslavia, was a socialist country in Southeast and Central Europe that existed from its foundation in the aftermath of World War II until its dissolution in 1992 amid the Yugoslav Wars.
It was a one-party socialist state and federation governed by the League of Communists of Yugoslavia and made up of six socialist republics—Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia—with Belgrade as its capital; it also included two autonomous provinces within Serbia: Kosovo and Vojvodina.

Helge is a religious man. He is also a former elite member of the Jaeger Corps (which is the Danish version of the US’s Delta Force Special Operations Unit), and trained with the Green Berets. He served in Desert Storm.

He couldn’t just watch the devastation in Yugoslavia from the safety of his home in Nord Germany. Supplies were not getting through to the injured and starving. What resulted was four years of bloody conflict, with over 100,000 people dying between the years 1991 and 1995.

He had an idea.

Not being a red-tape kind of guy, he met with American Air Force men at Rhein-Main Air Field in Frankfurt, Germany without permission or official clearance. He told them he was going to deliver much-needed supplies, medicine, and food to these beaten down victims of Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II.

He had a stock 1979 Camaro. He asked the USAF guys if they would help him beef up the car so that he wouldn’t get shot or blown up easily while delivering the supplies, in the middle of an active war zone.

“No problem”. The guys were excited and honored to get involved!

They pimped his ride. After stripping the car down to bare metal, eliminating the stock interior, and all lighting - they added:

Kevlar and Steel Plating to the body, and back windows
Kevlar inserts in the doors
Modified the Stock Engine with a Blower and Nitrous Oxide increasing the horsepower to 440
An Iron mine-clearing Blade on the front
Blacked out side windows
Run Flat Tires
The exterior was painted with Infrared Matte Black Stealth Paint (invisible to radar or thermal scopes)
Military GPS system
Thermal body heat detection on board
Fire Suppression system
Night Vision
IR Headlights
High-frequency ground-to-air radio to communicate with aircraft
A yellow rubber ducky in the front grill
Bad to the Bone “Ghost Camaro” - There is a yellow rubber ducky between the big round lamps

Helge wore and carried:

Jungle Boots

Kevlar Flak Jacket (lightweight bulletproof)

Complete Uniform

Kevlar Helmet (Which saved his life after getting shot at)

Night Vision Scope (a device that allows images to be produced in levels of light approaching total darkness).

Laser Pointer (laser aiming devices allow soldiers to better navigate at night)

Kabar knife (is the contemporary popular name for the combat knife used by the United States Marines)

Night Vision Goggles (similar to the Night Vision scope above)

Supplies for the People:

Sanitary Supplies
Medicine and Medical Supplies
Toys for Children
Surgical Cotton

Helge brought no guns, just a bible.

He changed his clothes to civilian clothing when he met with the families he was feeding so his appearance wouldn’t scare them.

The USAF guys gave Helge the nickname “God’s Rambo”. They called the car “The Ghost Camaro”. They flew him and the car into Bosnia, and Helge started his humanitarian activity.

Driving in the darkness of night, with no visible exterior lighting, he dodged land mines, armed bandits, eluded tanks and aircraft, and all the perils of war in the streets to help and give to all victims regardless of religion.

Over the course of the next 3 years Helge survived being shot at (his helmet had a bullet skid across it), numerous explosions, and was never captured. Chalk that up to the nitrous oxide boost making the car very fast.

He drove more than 100 missions and gave away literally tons of supplies to the needy all over what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Helge is my friend on Facebook. He posts a lot, and has some great old video of him in the car at the time. He lives in Germany and still drives the Camaro. He has since changed the color to orange:

A Comment on YouTube:

“I have family who are from Vareš in Bosnia. They always told us stories about an American bringing them food, water, clothes and medicine in a fast, dark car, usually at night. Now I guess I know he wasn't an American, thank you Helge Meyer for helping out those in need of help, I wish more people were like you!”

Here are some incredible pictures, documents, and videos he has posted on his Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/helge.meyer

Helge wrote this book in German. The title translates to “God’s Rambo”, but it is no longer in print.

Excerpt:

“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.” ~Helge
