Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Osprey Men-at-Arms (490)
This book tells and illustrates the little-known story of Germany's 30-year episode as a colonial power in Africa and the Pacific, and her enclave in China. Under the ambitious young Kaiser Wilhelm II, rivalry with the old colonial powers saw the protectorates originally established by trading companies transformed into crown colonies, garrisoned by the newly raised Schutztruppe with emergency support from the Imperial Navy's Sea Battalions. This book explains their organization and operations, including the horrific 1904-07 Herero campaign in Southwest Africa. It is illustrated with rare photos, and with color plates detailing a wide variety of the uniforms of German and native troops alike. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Covers in brief detail the German forces in Togoland, Cameroon, German SW Africa, China and the Pacific Islands. Most of the book deals, as it should, with the forces of Lettow-Vorbeck in German East Africa which was by far the most important of the German colonies. ( )
