'This book is published by "The Forum" to mark the end of the armed struggle against Hitlerism, and the beginning of an even more difficult struggle by mankind to win enduring peace. It does not purport to be a complete photographic or written history of the war ... Rather is it intended to serve as a reminder of the great and glorious deeds that preserved democracy in its most perilous hour, and as a pointer to the tasks that lie ahead. In a spirit of deep thankfulness, "Out of the Abyss" is dedicated to all those South Africans who rendered service to their Motherland and to the cause of freedom during the war." .
