		Lothar von Trotha - Military - German Archive: Adrian Dietrich Lothar von Trotha (July 3, 1848 — March 31, 1920) was a German military commander most famous for his method of waging war during the Herero Wars in South-West Africa, which the German government has since admitted was a form of genocide.
		On 19 November 1905 von Trotha returned to Germany and was appointed as general of the infantry in 1910.
		The actions of von Trotha have been called 'the first genocide of the 20th century' and some historians draw a direct lineage between von Trotha's plan for the extermination of the Herero and the holocaust sponsored by the government of Nazi Germany.

	Battle of Waterberg Namibia 11 August 1904 A History - Namibia-1on1 the information site
		Von Trotha had failed to destroy the Herero force on the 11th, but he had broken their resistance to a degree that even he did not appreciate, and he had come to realise that Samuel Maharero preferred to flee rather than surrender.
		Von Trotha was also of the consideration that once the Hereros had gained safe distance they might regroup and return to do battle.
		The uprising of the Herero had firmly implanted in Von Trotha's mind the belief that Germans, civilian or military would neither be safe or able to develop the colony successfully as long as the threat of further dissidence existed.

		Von Trotha’s proclamation is in effect the mere legal sanctioning of that which, as the numerous diaries of the German Schutztruppen soldiers show, has already been commonplace since January 1904.

		During the centenary commemoration of the order in 2004, the Ovaherero - lest the blood of their forbearers shed and the lives they sacrificed in the wars of resistance as a result of the Extermination Order by Von Trotha were in vain - declared not to rest until justice is done one day.

		The fact that General von Trotha had set up prisoner of war camps at the Waterberg before the battle suggests that at this point in time he was not yet planning to exterminate the Ovaherero.
		On September 13 von Trotha gave orders to drive away any Ovaherero women and children who came to ask for water, and on September 23 he rejected the suggestion by one of his officers, Major Ludwig von Estorff, that the Germans should accept Ovaherero offers to open negotiations.
		Nor was responsibility for this course of action limited to the "Great General." Count von Schlieffen, the head of the Great General Staff of the German Army who had recommended von Trotha for the command, did not immediately countermand the October 2 decision.

		Trotha was also involved in the bloody suppression of African resistance to German colonial rule in German East Africa (today's Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania).
		The nearest President Herzog came to an apology was to admit that Trotha "acted incorrectly" and that the killing of the Herero was "a burden on the conscience of every German".
