VV(13) - Von Trotha

[David Morris]

Von Trotha issues a proclamation threatening the Ovaherero with total 
extinction: "The Herero are no longer German subjects. They have murdered 
and plundered. ... Now, out of cowardice, they want to give up the fight. 
... The Herero nation must leave the country. If it will not do so I shall 
compel it by force. Inside German territory every Herero tribesman, armed or 
unarmed, with or without cattle, will be shot. No women and children will be 
allowed in the territory: they will be driven back to their people or fired 
on. These are the last words to the Herero nation from me, the great General 
of the mighty German Emperor."
