Ritterkreuzträger des Afrikakorps - Buch

The author portrays 17 knight's cross bearers, who not only proved themselves in front of the enemy, but also braved the scorching heat and the suffocating sandstorms day after day. A song of loyalty, commitment and a sense of duty.

Of all the locations of the Second World War, the North African is probably the most exotic. From 1941 to 1943 German soldiers fought against an allied superiority there. After the Italians, allied with Germany, attacked the British in Egypt from their colony of Libya in 1940, they quickly came into distress. Germany sent the Africa Corps to Libya to support its ally. Under the energetic leadership of Erwin Rommel, the group took the initiative and drove the British ahead. Despite the fateful battles, the war in North Africa was fought with exemplary chivalry from both sides. In this work, the well-known specialist author presents the outstanding weapon deeds of 17 Knight's Cross holders, who not only proved themselves in front of the enemy, but also braved the scorching heat and the suffocating sandstorms day after day. Exceptional examples of camaraderie, willingness to work and a sense of duty.
