Ep. 42: La guerra in Africa II (Africa Occidentale, 6 agosto - 27 settembre 1914)

In questo episodio seguiremo lo sviluppo di due campagne militari molto poco conosciute, condotte dagli Alleati contro le colonie germaniche del Togo e del Camerun. La prima si risolse in appena venti giorni, mentre la seconda ebbe una durata più lunga, a causa dell'inaspettata resistenza delle forze tedesche.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastSe vuoi contribuire con una donazione sul conto PayPal: [email protected] e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoFonti dell'episodio:J.
