German colonial labor camps had a 90 percent death rate in early 1907

Evidence

The German colonial occupation interned the remaining populations of the Ovaherero, Nama, and Damara in Southwest Africa into forced labor camps rivaling the Belgian forced labor regime in the Congo basin if not quite in its temporal extension. In the first half of 1907, the death rate in these labor camps was 90 percent. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 902 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
