Unter der glühenden Sonne Afrikas - Soldaten des Afrika-Feldzuges 1941-1943 in unbekannten Bildern

Hardback Under the blazing sun, in the roaring glow of the Ghibli and the torrential rains of the winter rains, tanks rolled through the African desert, drawing planes across the African sky. Tobruk, Bir Hacheim, Marsa Matruk, Sollum, the Hellfire Pass and El Alamein are the landmarks of a campaign that was relentlessly yet chivalrous. Inextricably linked to the war in Africa with the name of a man, field marshal Erwin Rommel, who, together with his soldiers earned the respect of his former opponents. The present illustrated book shows for the most part still unpublished photos of soldiers of the African campaign 1941-1943. They are grenadiers, anti-aircraft gunners, artillerymen, air force personnel, field chaplains, tank soldiers, and a Rommel bar staff member who have provided their private photos for this band. This book is dedicated to you and your fallen comrades, giving us insights into life and death in the North African theater of war.
