Hi,
excuse me, but the Translation of the Picture's title is: "Zulu warrior advance to attack". (On the Picture is written "Zulukrieger rücken zum Angriff vor" its German.)

Hi,
definately not. If you look at the German words, there is not the word "Isandula" there.
To explain a little bit more, I am not sure about the words "rücken vor". They could be translated as "move forward" or "advance". There is definately no German word for "Boys" nor "Isandula" in the whole sentence.
Like stated earlier. "Zulu Krieger" means "Zulu warriors"; "rücken zum Angriff vor". "Angriff" means "the attack" (not to attack).
