Heia Safari [German colonial song][+English translation]

Text: A. Aschenborn Music: Robert Götz – 1921 Askari (from Swahili for “soldier”) was the name given to native soldiers or policemen in the colonial troops of the European powers, particularly in Africa. The term was used in the colonial troops of Italy, Great Britain, Portugal, Germany and Belgium. Askaris played an important role both in the conquest of colonies and subsequently in the maintenance of colonial rule. In both world wars, they also fought outside their areas of origin. In the Schutztruppe for German East Africa, Askari was also the designation for the lowest rank in the troops.
