Wo ist heute das Volk der Herero, wo sind heute seine Häuptlinge?:
The German Military Campaign in South West Africa (1904-1907)
Abstract
This research analyses the German army's campaigns against the Herero and Namá peoples between 1904 and 1907. The main hypothesis is that their development was influenced by the international context of the time, as well as by other factors such as European military culture, the emergence of Total War, racism and German military doctrine.
