    My recent video about “The African Queen”. has resulted in loads of requests to find out more about the Great War in German East Africa.

    So, by popular demand, I thought I’d explore this fascinating and, largely, forgotten conflict in a little more detail.

    The war in East Africa saw Paul von Lettow Vorbeck commanding a small army of German colonial troops hold out against an allied army nearly 10x his size for the entire 4-yea war (1914-1918).

    Undefeated, he surrendered two weeks after the Armistice in Europe.

    This is the story of that war, against a man nicknamed the “Lion of Africa.”
