The Sheltering Desert”
“The Sheltering Desert” is a book written by Henno Martin, a German geologist. The book was first published in 1957 and has since been translated into several languages.
The book is a true story about the author and his friend, Hermann Korn, both of whom were living in South West Africa (now Namibia) when World War II broke out. As Germans, they were faced with internment by the South African authorities, who had taken control of the region from Germany during World War I and were now at war with Germany again.
