Amidst the haunting echoes of history, the entrance gate to Dachau concentration camp bears the chilling inscription, 'Arbeit Macht Frei' - work sets you free. A stark contrast to the propaganda postcards of a time long past, where two German Kaisers proudly displayed their power during World War Yet, as the world changed, so did the meaning of work. The South African General Service Badge, a symbol of valor and sacrifice, attests to the reality that war is never just about work, but also about love and money. Marrying for love or for money, the human spirit transcends the test of time, even amidst the darkest of chapters in history.
