 His final destination was Sattelberg on the Huon peninsula . His second in command , Sergeant Konradt , who suffered from frequent bouts of malaria , and a German officer , were captured by the Australians by spring 1915 . Eventually , Detzner found his way to the vicinity of Lutheran mission at the Sattelberg , at a foggy , cool area at 800 meters ( 2 @,@ 625 ft ) , above Finschhafen . The Sattelberg mission was one of the Neuendettelsau Mission Society enterprises established by the Old Lutheran missionary , Johann Flierl , in 1885 . This station , and additional mission stations in Heldbach , Simbang , Tami Islands , and Simbu , were an important evangelical presence in the Morobe Province . The missionaries had signed oaths of neutrality for the Australians , who allowed them to remain at their Stations and continue their work .
