I live in the states but am very interested in Afrikaner history. In addition to such documentaries, does anyone have any good books/sources (that are not ANC propaganda) that they could recommend to me, as someone interested in learning more about Afrikaner history. Thanks!
This is a really good book which gives a good overview of the Afrikaner/Boer trekkers first settling the Eastern Cape and then focusing on the Voortrekkers who went much further North East. Packed with a lot of useful information on things like when the Whites and blacks first encountered each other, the Battle of Blood River and the miraculous deliverance from God in that battle and the founding of the Boer Republics.
It's a bit pricey for you (on Amazon.com) for a second hand book but there really isn't very much at all in English on the history of South Africa which wouldn't be of the leftist variety.
@MaximusXVI 👆🏻
@Malcolm the Seceder excellent! Thank you for the description as well. I'll put it on my Christmas gift list! 👍
ah Bulrock nice to see you here to
Who is this?!
@Malcolm the Seceder i thought it was joseph goebbels wife magda for a second . Crazy thing is i just checked diane actually married at goebbels house with hitler as guest.
@Gonzo who is this lady?
Ditsem! @MaximusXVI, you just advanced to level 6!
@MaximusXVI Sorry been away from comp all night. The first picture is of Unity Mitford. The third picture is Diana her sister who married Oswald Mosley. The middle picture is the two of them in Germany during the 30s
@Malcolm the Seceder hey! No problem! Interesting. I do not know much about Mosley but would like to learn more about him. He was such a dynamic person. They are quite attractive women! (and not just because of their politics! 😏 😉 )
@MaximusXVI Indeed. Their family is fascinating in itself: 6 sisters and 1 brother. Of the sisters: one was a Nazi, one a fascist, one a communist (we don't talk about her), one an author, one became Duchess of Devonshire and one lived in the country and grew vegetables lol the Brother died in the second world War. The sisters were the "It" girls of their time. Their parents and grandparents are also fascinating people. A real English eccentric family.
I watched this last night. What a sad story https://youtu.be/5bI6SSVg9vg
@Daniel van Straaten I haven't seen that particular documentary. But certainly the story of Unity is very very sad.
@Malcolm the Seceder incredible. Definitely going to look into them!! Ty for the info!
@Karooboer 👍 gotta watch that sometime soon. Hopefully this week!
what rebellion was this?
seems my ancestors were a constant pest to the brits and now im raised a soutie
@MaximusXVI Thats a biography of the whole family and Diana's autobiography
British nationalism over the fake "Scottish nationalism"
