Imperial German Colonial and Overseas Troops 1885–1918 PDF
by Alejandro de Quesada, Chris Dale
Illustrated by Stephen Walsh
Part of the Men-at-Arms series
Description
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.
