Rommel's Afrika Korps

Rommel's Afrika Korps was a German military unit led by General Erwin Rommel during World War II, specifically in the North African campaign (1941-1943). Tasked with seizing control of North Africa, the Afrika Korps became known for its swift, aggressive tactics and the use of tanks, particularly the Panzer division. Their notable engagements included battles in places like El Alamein and Tobruk. Despite early successes, the corps ultimately faced logistical challenges and fierce resistance from Allied forces, leading to their defeat and retreat from Africa. Rommel gained a reputation as a skilled and respected commander during this campaign.
