That last posted link does have some highly recommended reading especially-
http://www.archive.org/details/petermoo ... 00frenrich - the journal of a Seesoldat in the Herero War.

I've done a bit more searching at the US Archives and found this too-
http://www.archive.org/details/fallofts ... 00jonerich - The Fall of Tsingtao written by a neutral observer. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but any eyewitness account is bound to be interesting I think....

Cheers
Chris

The homepage from the professional Photographer Burkhart Rüchel offer, among other articles,
a very interesting, detailed “Historical Photo Report” from Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia to Namibia.

AFRIKA 2016 in 1oo Tagen von ehemals Deutsch Ostafrika ins frühere Deutsch Südwestafrika
(AFRICA 2016 in 1oo days from formerly German East Africa into the former German South West Africa)

Burkhart´s richly illustrated report gave also a very realistic overview about the African everyday life.

This is a really fantastic homepage about the former German Protected areas in the Pacific, really
underrated, with a lot of further sub-links from a real specialist. Worth to investigate some time.
