Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck

Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck was a German Colonel who served in the German East Africa during the World War I. Since the start of the war, Frederick Selous was hunting von Lettow-Vorbeck, and managed to find him in 1914, in the Karoo mountains. There von Lettow demostrated a "brilliant flanking maneuver" and drove Selous' forces in a hurry.

A military genius, for two years he ran rings around the British lines, constantly outwitted and defeated forces far greater than his.
