Hi George, The surviving members of the Köenigsberg's crew did, in fact, serve with von Lettow-Vorbeck for the remainder of the war. They were presumably armed with the 50 or so P04's that were allocated to the Köenigsberg. There have been several books written about their adventures and they are well worth chasing down. Here's a short summary from Wikipedia.
Best regards, Norm
