Here is a fascinating long history of the adventures of Boers, Englishmen and Germans in the wilds of Africa in the mid to late 19th Century. Long German text of some fascinating tales and adventures. Would take a lot of reading. To be found under the above link.

Discovered, something has gone wrong with the above link to this very intersting page, that is, for Germany - the Gutenberg Organisation has shut this down for Germany, perhaps you can still reach it from the UK, recommendable if this topic interests you.  Most of the pictures I loaded have also disappeared!

Link still works for me Fritz, plus four pictures viewable were there more?

The images should all still be there, only you can remove them, perhaps it was another thread? I remember reading one you posted about German monuments in the African colonies I think it had quite allot of pictures?

Strange, but I thought I loaded more images, maybe they were somehow lost when the link was deactivated.

perhaps, sometimes glitchy things like that can happen.
