German Africa Corps 1941-43

English, 204 pages. Hardcover edition.

The North African theater of war presented new challenges for both sides, mainly due to the weather and the harsh environment. The units could not operate far from their supply bases. From the outset, a "war of movement" was waged with constant offensives and counterattacks. The forces, tanks and soft armored vehicles often got bogged down due to a lack of fuel and supplies.
