Afrikakorps - Website

von Poop · 16-03-2008, 01:03 AM

Solid site on all aspects of the Afrika Korps:
AFRIKAKORPS
A ton of information, and too many subcategories to list, from Vehicles & markings, through Waffenfarbe, and all the way to 'songs of the desert'. All nations who they fought also seem to be covered in as much detail as the German side, making it as much a general resource on the desert war overall as a specifically German oriented one.

Well worth a shufti.

Cheers,
Adam.

Lot of nice shots I'd not seen before, particularly the dockside/ship-board ones. Always interesting to see a captured halftrack too

Great site however couldn't find anything about Tobruk, O'Connor, Morshead, 9th Division, Poles.

If someone finds it, please let me know.

An excellent photo gallery concerning the Ramcke Brigade. Ramcke Brigade

That site is a treasure trove. I'd say about 90% of the photos I'd never see before. Its really good.

Fantastic site,another one for the favorites box.Thanks
Though,IMHO there is such a thing as being a shade too pedantic;

The "Deutsches AFRIKAKORPS" (not as in the improperly written Afrika Korps on search engines and via online encyclopedias)

A true find. Many photos that I had not seen before.
