Peter Moors Fahrt nach Südwest: Ein Feldzugsbericht

by Gustav Frenssen

"Peter Moors Fahrt nach Südwest: Ein Feldzugsbericht" by Gustav Frenssen is a novel published in 1906. Presented as a soldier's firsthand account of the Herero War in German Southwest Africa, this fictional work draws from real experiences of military participants. Written by an author who later aligned with National Socialism, the book became widely read in Imperial Germany and influenced debates about German colonialism. Its depiction of colonial warfare in what is now Namibia remains a significant, if controversial, document of German colonial history.
