Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Afrikakorps 1941-43 (Elite Series), December 28, 1999
By LTC Michael Burkert (Kuwait City, Kuwait) - See all my reviews
An interesting book, worth the price. However, it is only of passing interest as a collector's reference. I was somewhat disappointed in that not enough attention was devoted to material which would assist in authenticating uniforms and accouterments that are unique to the Deutsches Afrika Korps. Good text however, and easily read by high schoolers, possibly the target audience. Too bad the publisher didn't print the original color photos, in color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended book on the German Afrika Korps (Deutsches Afrikakorps), October 6, 2007
By J. Monty (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the German Afrika Korps (DAK or Deutsches Afrikakorps). In usual Osprey format this book provides a comprehensive yet detailed overview on the German Axis forces dispatched to North Africa to aid the Italians in their fight with the Allies throughout the early 1940's. This particular series (Osprey's Elite Series) focuses more on the men themselves with some very good info on the history, organization, and the uniforms of the Afrika Korps. If you are like me (a military history buff) and want more info on the Afrika Korps specifically, this book is an excellent place to start. I enjoy this book immensely and refer to it quite often. If you pair this book with another excellent Osprey book "Rommel's Afrika Korps Tobruk to El Alamein" from their popular Battle Orders series you will have a very complete resource on the German forces participating in the North Africa Campaign of WWII. I absolutly give this book 5 stars and when you consider the affordable price, these Osprey books are extremely hard to beat!
