The soldiers fighting in the deserts of North Africa did not fight
on a black & white canvas - the war was in color! This book,
for the first time ever in print, presents a pictorial chronology
of the campaign in Africa and the Deutschen Afrikakorps (DAK) - the
German Afrikakorps - the way the soldiers themselves experienced
it-the way they lived it: in color. It offers more than 150
photographs derived from what at that time, was revolutionary
original color slide film. These pictures portray the leaders, men
and equipment of the Afrikakorps from the arrival of its first
units in Tripoli, Tunisia through its astounding advance across the
Libyan Desert to Egypt and its eventual withdrawal back to Tunisia
after the bitter, lost struggle with the British at El Alamein.
Heavy artillery in position, antitank guns firing missions, cooks
making noodles; Panzers on the move, aircraft, weapons and
equipment - glimpses into the everyday existence of the Afrikakorps
soldier in the wastes of the Libyan Desert and the rugged terrain
of Tunisia - all of these are here in the original quality color -
with many detailed captions. This book offers an entirely new view
of the war in Africa that will prove a useful reference for
veterans, historians, military modelers, re-enactors and militaria
collectors alike. As an added bonus, the final section includes
color photos of the subsequent events in Sicily and Southern Italy.
A brief glossary is also included. This is how the war in Africa
was really fought: in color!
