Karl Hanssen’s memoirs of New Zealand-occupied German Samoa and his imprisonment for bypassing war censorship regulations provide a unique perspective on German Samoa and life in New Zealand prisons. This edition also features Hanssen’s photos and an introduction on the historical and political background.
Karl Hanssens memoirs provide an invaluable outsiders view of life in New Zealand prisons and a unique perspective on German Samoa under New Zealand occupation. In October 1915, Hanssen, manager of the DHPG, a large German copra production company, was sent from Samoa to New Zealand to serve a six-month sentence imposed by a New Zealand military court for bypassing war censorship regulations. He served his sentence in a number of prisons in New Zealand, including two months in the high-security prison, Mt Eden.
Hanssens memoirs in English translation and in the original German are made available for the first time in this edition, which also features photos from his Samoan album and a comprehensive introduction by Bronwyn Chapman on the historical and political background.
