Can someone please translate the phrase that Col. Coetzee says when they raided the camp? it sounds like "Darak manites, darak manites!". Thanks.

It seems that he was giving orders to his subordinates. Any south african in this board?.

He was saying 'derdtig minute manne, derdtig minute."

Which means 'thirty minutes men, 30 minutes.' Obviously just telling them when they were moving out.
