Hi

Congratulations, correct!

He was lived in São Paulo and in Joinville, Santa Catarina State, South of Brazil, these city and state have stronge german influence because german migration.

Victor Franke leidet zunehmend unter chronisch auftretenden Tropenkrankheiten. 1930 zieht er wegen zunehmender gesundheitlicher Probleme mit seiner Frau zunächst auf ein Landgut der Familie nach Sao Paulo in Brasilien und betreibt in Itajahy eine Mineralwasserfabrik. Später zieht er nach Joinville, muss jedoch bereits 1936 wegen seines stets schlechter werdenden Gesundheitszustandes nach Deutschland zurückkehren. Am 7.

Hi all
I guess it is my turn to ask a question?

In WW1 8000 to 10000 horses and mules were shot. Their bones still lie among the dunes
near Swakopmund DSWA. Why were they killed?
regards
DSWA

Great question... that had me searching around for a while. I had never heard of this before, so I learned something new...



"Sixteen hundred and ninety five (1695) horses and nine hundred and forty four (944) mules were destroyed near Swakopmund in November / December 1915 on account of a glanders (horse decease) outbreak which occurred amongst South African Union Defence Force animals that had been moved down to the coast in October. "

The vet that was sent to help was shipwrecked and arrived at Swakopmund 10 days later.

[Chris Dale]

Correct, Waldzee!

" In June that year (1901), at the insistence of the foreign powers, the 18-year-old Zaifeng (Prince Chun) was appointed by the Qing court as a Special Ambassador to offer regrets on behalf of the Qing government to Germany for the murder of German diplomat Baron von Ketteler in 1900. In July, Zaifeng left for Germany by sea and met Kaiser Wilhelm II in Berlin in September. He also toured Europe before returning to China, becoming one of the first members of the Qing imperial clan ever to travel abroad."
