Am 18.11.1909 wurde Georg Kraut nach Deutsch-Ostafrika versetzt, wo er im Ersten Weltkrieg an der Seite des Oberkommandeurs Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck kämpfte. Für Georg Kraut waren während der Zeit in der Kolonie die Fotografie (viele frühe Farbfotos!) und die Jagd sehr wichtig. Nach seiner Rückkehr aus Afrika und seinem Abschied als Oberstleutnant 1920 widmete er sich seinem künstlerischen Interesse und engagierte sich kulturell vorwiegend in seiner Heimatstadt Hildesheim. So hielt er zahlreiche Vorträge über seine Zeit in Afrika, bei denen er die hier angebotenen Dias präsentierte. Auch dienten seine Dias teilweise als Vorlagen für Kriegspublikationen, zum Beispiel von seinem Freund Lettow-Vorbeck. Vgl. Auktion 98, Lose 3382 - 3384.

On 18 November 1909, Georg Kraut was transferred to German East Africa, where he fought alongside Commander-in-Chief Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck in World War I. For Georg Kraut, photography (many earlier colour photographs!) and hunting played an important role during his time in the colony. After his return from Africa and his resignation as lieutenant colonel in 1920, he committed himself to his artistic interest and cultural activities primarily in his home town Hildesheim. He gave lectures on his time in Africa during which he presented the slides offered at this auction. His slides also served partly as reference material for war publications, for example, by his friend Lettow-Vorbeck. Cf. auction 98, lots 3382 – 3384.
