Johannes Frederik Janse Van Rensburg (known as Hans) (24 September 1898 – 25 September 1966) was a South African lawyer, and leader of the ''Ossewabrandwag''. He was born in Winburg〔Christoph Marx, The Ossewabrandwag As a Mass Movement. p.389.〕 and died in Cape Town and was a descendant of the Loyalist Johannes Frederik Janse Van Rensburg. He received his MA in German from University of Stellenbosch, and his bachelor's and doctor's degrees in law from University of Pretoria. Van Rensburg qualified as a solicitor and was hired as the personal secretary of Tielman Roos, the Minister of Justice. In 1933, he became Secretary of Justice (under Smuts as Minister). As Secretary, he traveled overseas. In Germany, he met Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring, and other top Nazi officials. He was greatly impressed with Hitler's leadership and the discipline he observed in Germany. In 1938, he helped organize the ''Ossewabrandwag'' as a vehicle for Afrikaner nationalism though often at odds with the National Party, the main driver of Afrikaner Nationalism. Van Rensburg was the commander general of the ''Ossewabrandwag'' from 1941 until 1952. Like most members of the ''Ossewabrandwag'', he was regarded as a German sympathizer during the Second World War. Van Rensburg died two months after Robey Leibbrandt and was buried with full military honors. ==References== * Rees, Philip (editor).
