About the Afrika Korps

The Afrika Korps was Germany’s expeditionary force sent to North Africa in 1941 to support Axis operations in the desert war. Under the command of General Erwin Rommel, these troops became well known for their mobility, tactical effectiveness, and operations across Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia.

Fighting in extreme desert conditions, Afrika Korps soldiers wore distinctive tropical uniforms adapted for heat and sand. They were heavily involved in major battles such as Tobruk, Gazala, and El Alamein.

Their campaigns remain some of the most studied operations of the Second World War.
