| Description |
English: “Pictures such as this are to be found in contemporary colonial books and show German women as victims of the war. However, although four white women lost their lives at the beginning of the war, it was well-known that Herero fighters spared women and children and even, on occasion, gave them protection. Thus horrific pictures such as this served above all for propaganda purposes in the context of a war which caused heavy losses, was expensive and was more and more subject to public criticism.”
Deutsch: „Solche Darstellungen, wie sie in zeitgenössischen Kolonialbüchern zu finden sind, zeigen deutsche Frauen als Kriegsopfer. Obwohl zu Beginn des Kolonialkrieges vier weiße Frauen ums Leben kamen, war bekannt, dass die Herero-Krieger Frauen und Kinder verschonten und nicht selten sogar unter ihren Schutz stellten. So dienten solche Gräuelbilder vor allem der Propaganda angesichts eines verlustreichen, teuren und in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit zunehmend kritisierten Krieges.“ Gesine Krüger: Bestien und Opfer. Frauen im Kolonialkrieg, in: Zimmerer/Zeller, 2003, S. 157 |
