Cornel, Growing up in Tanzania, we had to learn the history on the German warship, the Konigsberg. For those not familiar with the war theatre in E. Africa, here is a link. http://www.richthofen.com/konigsberg/summary/index.htm Dear Cornel, Mervyn, The fighting between German and Portuguese troops in Mozambique during World War I---and the involvement of Goans---forms part of a chapter in Tivolem, my novel about Goa. In fictionalized form, of course.
