Hitler had Jungle Fever and I have proof!......LOL. Not the jungle fever that we think of in these modern times but this thread addresses Nazi, and Wermacht recruitment in Africa. I am researching this topic and have some limited information, and if you can offer more, I would greatly appreciate it. Here is what I think that I know. I know that the Fascist recruited Africans to fight in South, Central and N. Africa. I know that Italy were more prolific in their recruitment. Attachments:

But yes Germany did have colonies in Africa they hoped to regain and they did make use of Askri troops during the Weimar Republic Africans living in Germany during the Nazi period were used as teachers to train Nazi officials in various African languages for re-colonization after the war. They were also employed by the propaganda machine in movies as extras. if you want more on the subject I recommend the book: Showing Our Colors. Afro-German Women Speak Out.May Optiz |
