Did You Know?
The Militere kamp (Military camp) at Witputz, Namibia, dates to 1914, during the period of German colonial rule in German South West Africa. Witputz is a small settlement in the ǁKaras Region of southern Namibia, near the border with South Africa. In 1914, the outbreak of World War I led to military conflict in the colony between German forces and the Union of South Africa, which invaded on behalf of the British Empire. The camp likely served as a German outpost or staging area during the early stages of the South West Africa Campaign, which lasted from 1914 to 1915. However, specific details about the camp's construction, size, or operations are not well-documented in accessible historical records.
