The Battle of Otavi fought between the militaries of the Union of South Africa and German Southwest Africa on 1 July 1915 was the final battle of the South West Africa Campaign of World War I. The battle, fought between Otavi mountain and Otavifontein, was a delaying action led by the German Major Hermann Ritter. Ritter's forces intended to buy the main German force at Tsombe several days so as they could harden their positions there. In the end, Botha's forces were able to rout Ritter's troops, leading to an overall breakdown in the German lines that brought the campaign to an end.

  • La battaglia di Otavi, venne combattuta il 1º luglio 1915 tra le truppe sudafricane e quelle tedesche. Si trattò dello scontro finale della Campagna dell'Africa Tedesca del Sud-Ovest nella prima guerra mondiale. La battaglia, combattuta tra i monti Otavi e Otavifontein, fu un'azione ritardatrice condotta dal maggiore tedesco Hermann Ritter. Le sue forze avrebbero dovuto prendere tempo, in modo da consentire al resto del contingente di rafforzare le posizioni. Tuttavia, le truppe di Louis Botha furono in grado di sbaragliare i soldati di Ritter, rompendo la linea tedesca e ponendo virtualmente fine alla campagna. (it)
