African prisoners made sound recordings in German camps in WW1: this is what they had to say African prisoners in German camps were studied by ethnographers, who recorded their voices. What they had to say is poignant and unexpected.

"In the process we hear speakers offer commentary. Senegalese prisoner Abdoulaye Niang, for example, calls Europe’s battlefields an abattoir for the soldiers from Africa. Others sang of the war of the whites, or speak of other forms of colonial exploitation."
