Imperial German Colonial and Overseas Troops 18851918

Vorwort
Featuring specially commissioned artwork and many rare photos, this book describes and illustrates the Kaiser's specially raised and uniformed units that operated in Africa both in colonial wars from 1890 to 1907, and during World War I, and the 'sea battalions' that were raised to serve with the fleet, as far afield as China and the Pacific islands.

Zusammenfassung
Under the ambitious young Kaiser Wilhelm II, rivalry with the old colonial powers saw the protectorates originally established by trading companies transformed into crown colonies, garrisoned by the newly raised Schutztruppe with emergency support from the Imperial Navy's Sea Battalions.
