In reply to Trangia:
> You are correct Von Lettlow-Vorbeck didn't surrender until 25 November 1918 in German East Africa, partially due to the difficulty of communicating the news of the Armistice to him in the field and partly because having run circles around the British and South Africans throughout the War he wanted to surrender at a time and place of his chosing. He wasn't defeated.
Why didn't they just look on Facebook?
> Have you read "The Battle for the Bundu"? The history of his brilliant guerrilla campaign conducted with just 3,000 German troops and 11,000 African askari against 250,000 British and South African troops. Well worth reading if you are interested in the Great War.
I've heard about it but not read the book, when I'm not so busy (10 -15 years) I'll look it up. Cheers.
