The Germans who never lost; the story of the Königsberg

The incredible, little known story of the WW1 German cruiser Königsberg, and the German East Africa colony in World War I. Raiding in the waters off the coast of East Africa in 1915, the Königsberg's havoc included the sinking an elderly RN warship in port. The British shelled the Königsberg to destruction in the Rufiji delta, but the Germans who survived the sinking hauled ten 105mm guns off the wreck of the cruiser, remaining at large and waging a running fight through East Africa against the British for the rest of the war
