The Ossewabrandwag ("Ox-wagon Sentinel", referring to ox-wagons during the Great Trek) was an anti-British and pro-German organisation in South Africa during World War II, which opposed South African participation in the war. It was formed in 1939 by pro-German Afrikaners.

Members of the OB refused to enlist in the South African forces and sometimes harassed servicemen in uniform. This erupted into open rioting in Johannesburg on 1 February 1941; 140 soldiers were seriously hurt. However, the leader refused to support the insurrection of the National Socialist Germany agent Robey Leibbrandt. Regerdless, the "Stormjaers" ("Assault troops") was a stated paramilitary wing, claimed to have committed sabotage, such as cutting power and telegraph lines. The government used this as a justification for suppressing the Ossewabrandwag and placing thousands of members of in prison camps for the duration of the war.

At the end of the war, the OB was absorbed into the National Party and ceased to exist as a separate body.

Its weak and faggy. Somebody copied it over from some woke SJW source, and now its namby-pamby wording is gaying up our program.

|Please help FasciPedia by strengthening this article up, get rid of the weak style. It should be written in a professional encyclopedia, style while still retaining the fascist point of view.
