Propaganda epic Uncle Krüger was supposed to compromise the British Empire by pointing out the massacres committed by its army during the Boer Wars. The Boers were imprisoned in what were the first concentration camps; this corresponds with historical facts, on the other hand it was highly hypocritical that this fact should be brought out by the Nazis, who were committing genocide on an incomparably broader scale.
