135: WW1 in German East Africa - Paul Von Lettow-Vorbeck
Manage episode 440758686 series 3338416
My recent video about “The African Queen”. has resulted in loads of requests to find out more about the Great War in German East Africa.
So, by popular demand, I thought I’d explore this fascinating and, largely, forgotten conflict in a little more detail.
The war in East Africa saw Paul von Lettow Vorbeck commanding a small army of German colonial troops hold out against an allied army nearly 10x his size for the entire 4-yea war (1914-1918).
Undefeated, he surrendered two weeks after the Armistice in Europe.
This is the story of that war, against a man nicknamed the “Lion of Africa.”
