Mining at Tsumeb from 1936 to 1940
editI have undone deletion of the reference to German control of copper mining between 1936 and 1940 and added reference citations. Although the location was no longer a German colony during this period, German owners operated the mine as a foreign company during South African control of the colony until the mine was seized as enemy property in 1940.Thewellman (talk) 04:31, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Loop or bridge?

- What a fascinating photo! Do you know the location? I haven't heard of any loop on the Otavi line, but I believe there were some separate Heeresfeldbahn lines in the vicinity around the time of construction, and some of the personnel appear to be in military uniforms; so it might be a photo of the Otavi line crossing over one of those Heeresfeldbahn.
