Brought to life here are the famous Afrikakorps personalities such as Rommel, Nehring, Crüwell, and von Thoma. The Afrikakorps commanders, their fighting men, the awards for bravery, the graves, and even mundane military life in the heat of the Libyandesert, Bayerlein's array of photographs depict the war in the Western Desert as he saw it.
