Podcasts about lettow vorbeck

In questo episodio cominciamo a conoscere il più importante fra i teatri di guerra in Africa dal 1914 al 1918, l'Africa Orientale. Qui, la colonia tedesca della Tanzania si trovò circondata da possedimenti britannici, belgi e portoghesi, e nonostante ciò resisterà fino alla fine del conflitto, grazie all'abilità di un condottiero che conosceremo nel corso dell'episodio.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastSe vuoi contribuire con una donazione sul conto PayPal: podcastlaguerragrande@gmail.comScritto e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoFonti dell'episodio:African Kaiser: General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck and the Great War in Africa, 1914-1918, Berkeley Books, 2017 Fernando Amado Couto, Maziúa 1914: a entrada de Moçambique na I Guerra Mundial, Plataforma Macau, 2014 Ross Anderson, The Forgotten Front: The East Africa Campaign, 1914–1918, Tempus, 2004 Arthur John Byng Wavell 1882 – 1916, Kenya Battlefields H.

Send me a messageMy 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.”Become a Patron by joining my Supporter's ClubGet my free weekly newsletterSupport the show

Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck commanded Imperial German military forces throughout the East Africa campaign during World War One.  His mostly African army of about 14,000 attacked, checked, and evaded much larger Allied forces for over four years.  When the war ended, Lettow-Vorbeck surrendered and returned undefeated to a hero's welcome in Germany.  This book is how he remembers the experience.

I vårt mest efterkloka avsnitt hittills så fnissar vi högljutt över att dåtidens tekniker inte hade spåkulor eller var clairvoyanta. Kort och gott pratar vi om vapentekniska återvändsgränder.Mattis går ut hårt och baktalar tanketten – en knappt beväpnad lådbil som drevs av gräsklipparmotorer, förhoppningar och dådkraft. Därefter tar Per vid och avfärdar zeppelinaren; dvs. en långsam sak av tyg, fylld med brännbar gas som framfördes i en tid av brandammunition. Till sist avslutar Mattis med fladdermusbomben, och ja, du får höra själv.Dessutom: stora stenar som pansarvärn, livrädda piloter, Mattis Toyota-jämförelser, galna tandläkare, tyska flygvapnet som utplånar sig självt, morgonsura fladdermöss, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, näsfniss och mycket mer!

Historian and author of General Jan Smuts and his First World War in Africa, 1914-1917, David Katz, is in conversation with fellow author and historian Dr Evert Kleynhans. About the book: Jan Smuts grabbed the opportunity to realise his ambition of a Greater South Africa when the First World War ushered in a final scramble for Africa. He set his sights firmly northward upon the German colonies of South West Africa and East Africa. Smuts's abilities as a general have been much denigrated by his contemporaries and later historians, but he was no armchair soldier. He first learned his soldier's craft under General Koos de la Rey and General Louis Botha during the South African War (1899−1902). He emerged from that conflict immersed in Boer manoeuvre doctrine. After forming the Union Defence Force in 1912, Smuts played an integral part in the German South West African campaign in 1915. Placed in command of the Allied forces in East Africa in 1916, he led a mixed bag of South Africans and imperial troops against the legendary Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck and his Schutztruppen. His penchant for manoeuvre warfare and mounted infantry freed most of the vast German territory from Lettow-Vorbeck's grip. General Jan Smuts and his First World War in Africa provides a long-overdue reassessment of Smuts's generalship and his role in furthering the strategic aims of South Africa and the British Empire during this era. About David: David is an author and historian, who lectures at the Army and Defence Colleges of the South African National Defence Force. He completed his MMil in Military History (cum laude) and a PhD in Military Science in the Department of Military History at the Faculty of Military Science of Stellenbosch University. He is also research fellow at the Faculty of Military Science and an active member of the Andrew Mlangeni Regiment (formerly the South African Irish Regiment). Katz is the author of South Africans vs Rommel (2019). About Evert Dr Evert Kleynhans is a senior lecturer in the Department of Military History at the Faculty of Military Science at Stellenbosch University. He is the former head of the Records, Archives and Museums Division at North-West University. Several of his articles and chapters have been published in academic journals and books.

Happy turkey day, dear listeners. After you're done stuffing your face and arguing with your family, kick back and enjoy this episode on badass German, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. I know, I'm as surprised as you that I'm calling a German a badass, but he was pretty dope. The whole colonization of Africa thing was a bit...not so dope, but given the times, he was still the best of the bunch. His men, both German and African, loved him. And his enemies respected him, some later even became his friends. Enjoy!

Operation Redeemer - that plan to relieve the besieged forces commanded by General David McCay in Kiev, spearheaded by a force commanded by Paul von Lettow Vorbeck, composed of Freikorps soldiers and other German volunteers. It was a story almost too incredible to be true - and yet, onwards the redeemed marched. Back in London, the peacemakers chaired the Arbitration Committee, and imagined life after the conference. It seemed that the pieces were coming together, but would everyone be standing by the end? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“I can’t tell you about Less. He got badly hurt and they took him to the hospital. I heard once he died, but I don’t know if that was correct or not. I hope it wasn’t correct for I would like to went back to the states with him…” In his eighteenth letter home since leaving for Camp Lee, and his third letter home from France, dated November 25, 1918, PFC Charles “Dutch” Riggle, a WWI soldier from Wheeling, WV, tells his brother James “Abe” Riggle he’s sorry he hasn’t written. He didn’t have much time to write while he was on the front, but now that the war is over, he has all kinds of time. He can’t wait to see the “good old states” again. Dutch had some narrow escapes on the front but came out without a scratch. A good many men from the 314th got hurt, but only four were killed. He has no news about Les. He was badly hurt and taken to the hospital. Dutch heard Les might have died. He hopes that isn’t true. He would like to go back to the states together. Les drove the rolling kitchen for Battery A. Dutch would like to be home for Thanksgiving and hunt rabbit. He and Tib Meriner had been hunting hogs. He like to get some good apples for winter. he doesn’t think there will be another war any time soon. They drove the “Dutch” 48 miles in 50 days. Charles Riggle sent this letter a full two weeks after the armistice ending the Great War was signed in Paris. Elsewhere on that same day, Major General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck of Germany, known affectionately as “The Lion of Africa,” finally surrendered his forces in German East Africa. He had employed a guerrilla, bush-fighting style with his African Askari troops (he spoke fluent Swahili) to harass and confuse British forces, allowing him to exit from the war as the only undefeated military commander on either side. He later led a conservative opposition to Hitler and would have died in poverty but for a small pension organized by his former British and South African enemies. Charles "Dutch" Riggle was drafted into the US Army in 1917 and trained at Camp Lee, Virginia, where so many Wheeling draftees and volunteers—including his sister-in-law Minnie Riggle's brother, Lester Scott—were trained. Dutch Riggle was a Private First Class in the 314th Field Artillery Supply Company, Battery “A,” 80th (Blue Ridge) Division in France. This is his letter home, November 25, 1918. Digital scans and a transcript of Charles Riggle's November 25, 1918 letter can be viewed at: www.archivingwheeling.org/blog/from-camp-lee-to-the-great-war-november-25-1918-podcast Credits: "From Camp Lee to the Great War: The letters of Lester Scott and Charles Riggle" is brought to you by archivingwheeling.org in partnership with the Ohio County Public Library (www.ohiocountylibrary.org) and the WALS Foundation (walswheeling.com).

During World War I, German Major General Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck led the British Army on a four year cat and mouse chase through German East Africa and its surroundings in what was called the “Little War.” Over the course of this “Little War,” his tiny force of about 14,000 troops kept approximately 300,000 British troops occupied. Lettow-Vorbeck’s troops were still fighting when the war ended on November 11, 1918. Today, this “Little War” provides proof that a small but highly motivated guerilla force can hold a modern army hostage even in an age of advancing military technology.

To commemorate our 6 millionth download this week, we've gone back in the archives and edited a two-parter from season 10 together on Lettow-Vorbeck. Enjoy!... The lasting image of the First World War is that of trench warfare. However, far away from the trenches of the Western Front an extraordinary struggle was fought in a remote corner of Africa. When Germany went to war in August 1914 it possessed but few colonial possessions mainly situated in Africa. Dur: 52mins File: .mp3
