In questo episodio seguiremo lo sviluppo di due campagne militari molto poco conosciute, condotte dagli Alleati contro le colonie germaniche del Togo e del Camerun. La prima si risolse in appena venti giorni, mentre la seconda ebbe una durata più lunga, a causa dell'inaspettata resistenza delle forze tedesche.
