Capítulo 216: The Lion of Africa Strikes Back

The War in Africa was unfolding just as it had in Bruno's past life. General der Infanterie Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, who had earned himself the nickname "the Lion of Africa" in his past life, was proving to be every bit as much a menace to the Allied invasion of German colonial territories within the continent as he had been then. 

Outmanned by several hundred thousand men and outgunned against an enemy largely equipped with modern weapons, von Lettow-Vorbeck and his troops used firearms and artillery primarily issued during the previous century. 

The German general was regarded as the leader of the single most effective guerilla campaign in human history, and rightfully so. This absolute madman was leading a force of 2,700 primarily local African colonial conscripts against an enemy invasion of 20,000 British soldiers.
