"Wir ritten für Deutsch-Ostafrika" by Otto W. H. Inhülsen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the author's experiences as a young emigrant and later a soldier in German East Africa during World War I. It captures the mixture of adventure and conflict that characterized the colonial experience, including encounters with wildlife and the complexities of war. The opening of the narrative introduces Inhülsen’s early attempts to migrate to Africa, sparked by a youthful desire to hunt lions, only to reveal that his path eventually took him back to the continent in a military context thirty-five years later. As he re-establishes himself on a farm near Kilimanjaro, the onset of World War I brings dramatic changes. He finds himself preparing for the war, dealing with the realities of combat, and interacting with fellow farmers and soldiers, including a lively character in Frau Weber, who brings humor and humanity to their dire circumstances. This initial section sets the stage for a gripping exploration of colonial life and the impact of war, highlighting both the exotic landscapes and the personal challenges faced by those involved.
