TOPIC:

Can I ask for some information about Otto Krantz? In the photos earlier in this thread we see the German Corps under their commander Paul Adolf Krantz. I have come across a mention of Louis Botha declining an invitation to Christmas dinner from Commandant and Mrs. Otto Krantz of the German Corps at Ladysmith. Mrs Krantz was famously photographed as a "woman who fought for the Boers"

So my Q is this: Was Otto Krantz [the big game hunter] also, like Paul Adolf Krantz, a Commandant of the German Corps, and if not, what was Otto's role in the German Corps?
