The schutztruppe – a protection force?!

Schutztruppe forts and fortifications litter the hills around Windhoek and the Khomas Hochland, each as precisely and perfectly constructed as one would expect. The Schutztruppe in German South-West Africa numbered almost 2 000 members in 12 companies. One of these companies was mounted on camels for use in the desert. The force was divided between Northern Command in Windhoek and Southern Command in Keetmanshoop. There was one Baster company but no black Africans were recruited, largely because their relations with the colonial power were so poor. At the end of the German colonial era in 1915, the force had a total strength of 91 officers, 22 physicians, 9 veterinarians, 59 civilian administrators and ammunition technicians, 342 NCOs and 1 444 German other ranks, giving it 1 967 personnel in total (compared with the 14 000 men under arms in the Schutztruppe in German East Africa).
