    How did Iron Crosses get to German East Africa?


    Recommended Posts

    Hello Chris:

    I read the article with great interest because it renewed memories of childhood books devoured relating to WW I warfare in far away East Africa incl attempts to resupply the isolated German forces. There was also an aborted flight by a Zeppelin via Turkey carrying supplies which was abandoned while en route somewhere over the Sudan I believe.

    I have related in an earlier post a very short encounter with General v.Lettow-Vorbeck while attending a school in Bremen which was named after the general.

    former student of Oberschule fuer Jungen General v.Lettow-Vorbeck, 1942 to 1945
