The Afrika Korps
The Afrika Korps was a German expeditionary force that was sent to North Africa in 1941 to support the Italian army. The Afrika Korps was commanded by Erwin Rommel, one of the most skilled and respected generals of the Second World War.
The Afrika Korps quickly achieved a series of victories against the British and Commonwealth forces in North Africa. Rommel's forces captured Tobruk, the key British stronghold in Libya, and they advanced deep into Egypt. However, the Afrika Korps was eventually defeated by the British at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942.
The Afrika Korps was a formidable fighting force, and its defeat was a major setback for the Axis powers. The book Rommel's Desert Warriors provides a fascinating look at the Afrika Korps and its role in the North African Campaign.
Erwin Rommel
Erwin Rommel was one of the most successful and respected generals of the Second World War. He was known for his brilliant tactical skills and his ability to motivate his troops. Rommel was also a master of propaganda, and he used his image to create a cult of personality around himself.
Rommel was born in Heidenheim, Germany, in 1891. He joined the German army in 1910, and he served with distinction in the First World War. After the war, Rommel remained in the army, and he rose through the ranks quickly.
In 1940, Rommel was appointed to command the 7th Panzer Division. He led the division to victory in the Battle of France, and he was promoted to the rank of general. In 1941, Rommel was sent to North Africa to command the Afrika Korps.
The Afrika Korps quickly achieved a series of victories against the British and Commonwealth forces in North Africa. Rommel's forces captured Tobruk, the key British stronghold in Libya, and they advanced deep into Egypt. However, the Afrika Korps was eventually defeated by the British at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942.
After the defeat of the Afrika Korps, Rommel was transferred to command the Army Group B in Italy. He was promoted to the rank of field marshal in 1944. Rommel played a key role in the defence of Italy against the Allied invasion. He was forced to surrender to the Allies in May 1945.
Rommel was a brilliant military commander, and he was one of the most popular generals in the German army. He was also a controversial figure, and he was accused of war crimes by the Allies. Rommel committed suicide in 1944 to avoid being tried for war crimes.
The North African Campaign
The North African Campaign was a major theatre of operations during the Second World War. The campaign began in 1940, when Italy invaded Egypt from Libya. The British and Commonwealth forces responded by launching a counter-offensive, and they eventually drove the Italians out of Egypt.
In 1941, the Germans sent the Afrika Korps to North Africa to support the Italian army. The Afrika Korps quickly achieved a series of victories against the British and Commonwealth forces. Rommel's forces captured Tobruk, the key British stronghold in Libya, and they advanced deep into Egypt.
However, the Afrika Korps was eventually defeated by the British at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942. The British and Commonwealth forces then launched a counter-offensive, and they eventually drove the Axis forces out of North Africa.
The North African Campaign was a long and bloody conflict. The fighting was often intense, and the conditions were harsh. The campaign was a major turning point in the Second World War, and it helped to pave the way for the Allied victory.
