Klappentext The campaign in North Africa between September 1940 and May 1943 holds not only an enduring fascination for postwar generations; but also a perhaps unique degree of nostalgia for some surviving participants. The campaign was no less costly in terms of human lives and material than many others; but regret at the cost is accompanied by positive memories in the minds of many veterans. This is not to suggest that the dead have been forgotten; but an almost mystical bond nevertheless exists, even between former enemies, amongst veterans of the desert campaign. Gordon Williamson examines the history, organisation and uniforms of Rommel's Afrikakorps. Zusammenfassung Describes the organization, uniforms and equipment of the Third Reich's elite North African soldiers. The author gives a history of the North Africa campaign, but also detailed operational histories of the Afrikakorps' constituent units and examines their equipment and insignia.
