Untitled edit
Pretty much all this information is on SMS Königsberg. Merge ? Wizzy…☎ 16:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC) No, the battle has signifigance and was a key part of the East African Theater. If the ship had remained the Germans could have threatened the invasion forces and possibly even repelled them. XavierGreen (talk) 23:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
FYI new book on topic edit
FYI Robert Gaudi authored a book on the GEA campaign in Jan. 2017 which covers this topic in detail.[1] ISBN-10: 0425283712 ISBN-13: 978-0425283714 Some of the details he gives differ from what is here, chiefly concerning the involvement of one Piet Pretorius who is claimed to have been the one to discover the location of the Konigsberg and charted the river and its tides.Wikkileaker (talk) 17:46, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Torpedo boat edit
"The British made several attempts to sink Königsberg including one to slip a shallow-draught torpedo boat (with escorts) within range, an operation easily repulsed by the force in the delta."
What kind of torpedo boat was it? --Andreas (talk) 22:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
