Now, for the first time, the private Afrikakorps photograph
collection of Rommel's second in command, Generalleutnant Fritz
Bayerlein, is presented in this landmark publication. Over 200
photographs, showing personalities, battle scenes, behind the front
line rest periods, and non-battle scenery such as a tour of ancient
ruins with Rommel are featured. Brought to life here are the famous
Afrikakorps personalities such as Rommel, Nehring, Cruwell, 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 Libyan desert, Bayerlein's array of photographs depict the
war in the Western Desert as he saw it. From his arrival in the
Western Desert in October 1941, through his final, and bitter
departure in May 1943, Bayerlein took hundreds of photographs. This
gallery of images unfolds Bayerlein's rise in rank, from an
Oberstleutnant under General Cruwell to Generalleutnant under his
friend and mentor, Erwin Rommel. Fritz Dittmar-Bayerlein, the
General's nephew and co-author, has generously opened his uncle's
photograph collection which had been in storage for over thirty
years. Retrace Bayerlein's steps and the campaigns across the
desert sands - an undiscovered perspective on the legacy of the
vaunted Afrikakorps.
