Some recent articles about this rebellion in German South west Africa(1903-1907),and the German response,concluding "it was the first genocidal war of what was to become a genocidal century".

A bit harsh on the Kaiser's regime?

Hi Durand!
There is a very detailed (and IMHO somewhat confusing) chronological history of Namibia (which includes the Herrero and Nama wars of resistance) in both English and German on Dr. Klaus Dierks' website at
http://www.klausdierks.com
It also includes several interesting photos. Hope this is some help. Regards, Kaschner

No,the capital Windhuk was captured on the 20th May 1915 and the last of the German forces surrended on the 9th July 1915 at Tsumeb.This was a force of about 4,000 Germans still at large in the north of the colony.Lord Gort wrote:Did not the war in Sotuhwest africa turn into a romantic guerilla war with the germans fighting on after the armistice?
Botha ended up deploying some 50,000 South Africans in the fighting in SWA.
A pity there's not much in English on this war.Now if your studying the Boer War that's a different matter.
This website(that can be translated into English) provides some details on German SWA.Albert Goring,Hermann's father,was the first Governor:
