The Germans retired overnight to Kamina, due to apprehension that other British and French troops would cut off the German retreat and overestimation of the number of their opponents. The invaders paused for two days and resumed the advance on Kamina; they were met at Glei on 25 August, by two Germans who offered terms of surrender. Unconditional surrender was demanded by the British commander, which was accepted by the Germans the next day and hostilities ceased. The colony was administered jointly for the duration of the war by the French and British; after the war Togoland was partitioned. The western part of Togoland, administered by the British, joined Ghana in 1957 and French Togoland became independent as Togo in 1960.
