I always thought it would be fun to read a TL where WWI went on longer (say the Germans decide to fight to the Rhine or something) and Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck keeps marching in East Africa. I sometimes fascinate myself by wondering if he could have invaded South Africa if he had another year.

I wonder. He was heading west and in Northern Rhodesia when the war was over. He got far indeed. Perhaps Southern Rhodesia would be more realistic. I would pay actual money to read a TL about him raiding the outskirts of Salisbury and Bulawayo.
