The attached link is for a 2 hour long film on Paul Kruger but with plenty on the ABW - produced in Germany in 1941 it has English sub titles - perhaps members may find it of interest?

Heaven alone knows where, in 1941, at the height of WWII, they found the time and resources to make this film.

At 2 hrs and 9 minutes, that s quite a film. Only skimmed through so far but see there is some original footage and some recreations. Given where and when it was made there is a strong anti-British tone but it does remind us how the policies of farm burning, cattle destruction and the camps brought dire consequences to Boer families.
