EDITORS COMMENTS
August 1940: The Italians' Successful Advance through East Africa and the Attack on the British Base at Mojale, Kenya This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the East African Campaign of World War II. In August 1940, the Italian army, under the command of General Emilio De Bono, continued their successful advance through British-held Kenya, determined to expand their territorial gains in East Africa. The scene depicted in this image shows Italian soldiers, armed and ready, preparing to attack the British base at Mojale. The harsh African terrain, dotted with acacia trees, serves as the backdrop to this tense encounter between two powerful military forces. The Italian air force provides support from above, with planes flying overhead, dropping bombs on the British positions. The Italians' strategic maneuvers had already resulted in significant victories, including the capture of the key port city of Mombasa in July 1940. With each successful operation, their front line extended further, threatening to encircle the British forces. The British, however, were not about to give up without a fight. The defense of their East African colonies was crucial to maintaining their global influence and preventing further territorial losses to the Axis powers. The battle for Mojale would prove to be a hard-fought one, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the intense conflict that unfolded in East Africa during World War II, with the Italians making significant headway against the British forces. The outcome of this battle would ultimately determine the fate of the region and the balance of power in the ongoing global conflict.
