The African war hero who sank a German ship in WWII
The African war hero who sank a German ship in WWII was South African Job Maseko, a Native Military Corps (NMC) soldier who, as a prisoner of war in Tobruk, used a homemade bomb from a milk tin and cordite to destroy an enemy supply ship in July 1942, an act of incredible bravery for which he received the Military Medal, though many felt he deserved the higher Victoria Cross.
