Описание: For a period of some twenty-eight months of the Second World War, from February 1941 to May 1943, the battlefield fought upon by one German army extended across twenty degrees of longitude and through a sickle of Arab countries from Egypt to Tunisia. That German formation was conceived as a small contingent in approximately divisional strength whose task it would be to support the Italians and to act as a block against a British advance. It was to be subordinate to the Italians, on whose colonial territories it would serve and who had been fighting the British for nearly a year. This small unit rapidly developed to become the spearhead of Axis advances, commanded by a man whose plans and strategies were carried through often against the orders of his superiors in Libya, Rome, and Berlin. The German Africa Corps, as it was first known and under which title it has become a legend, rose in status to become Panzer Group Africa, Panzer Army Africa, and, finally in the closing months of the war, Army Group Africa.
