RARE ORIGINAL BIG 1941 D.A.K. / AFRIKAKORPS BOOK
This wonderful 8-1/2 x 12 inches hardcover book in excellent condition was published 1941 by order of the high command of the Afrikakorps. On 214 very interesting and heavily illustrated pages this book gives back the battles, victories and experiences of the Afrikakorps in its first year on North African soil after Mussolini asked Hitler for military aid against the British Expeditionary Forces. There are countless full page illustrations in this wonderful book which was "Band I" (volume one) of a planned series on the Afrikakorps which was never finished. This volume was the only one which was ever published. The text is in German and Italian so that this book could have also become a remembrance book for the Italian soldier who fought together with the German Afrikakorps against the British, and towards the end of the war, American troops. This rare book is in very good condition and will make an important addition to anyones collection of D.A.K. history! Binding is loose but can be fixed.
