	Afrika Corps uniforms and text
		The Afrika Corps is a textbook example of why the German Army was able to achieve the success it did, despite its handicaps.
		The tropical uniform worn by the Afrika Corps varied widely in colour, depending on length of use, different manufacturers' batches, etc.; and the latitude tolerated in the desert armies of other nations was also observed in the German forces.
		Either the continental-pattern shoulder straps and sleeve chevrons, or the tropical pattern straps and chevrons and the AFRIKAKORPS and AFRIKA cuff bands were all worn on the coat.

	Afrika Korps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since there was little turnover in the units attached to the corps, the term is commonly used to refer to the headquarters plus its attached combat units.
		The Afrika Korps was formed, on February 19, 1941, after the German Armed Forces High Command (OKW) had decided to send an expeditionary force to Libya to support the Italian army, which had been routed by an Allied counteroffensive, Operation Compass.
		Strictly speaking the term Afrika Korps refers only to the corps headquarters and its attached units, though it is commonly used by amateur writers, the news media and veteran Allied soldiers, as a name for all the German units in North Africa before the retreat to Tunisia.

	Bernhard Law Montgomery
		Even with the brief resurgence of the Afrika Corps at Kasserine Pass on Feb. 20, 1943, Montgomery continued to exert pressure with his Eighth Army out of Egypt and constant harassment by the Desert Air Force.
		The Afrika Corps capitulated in March 1943 with Rommel being evacuated by air to Italy.
		The operation was a failure due to a combination of poor communications, the surprise presence of crack German troops in the vicinity and bad weather which prevented the reinforcement by air of the airborne contingent.

	The Hammer of Hell
		Rommel was attacking the two southern Allied Corps; the French XIX in the middle of the Allied line and the American II Corps in the south.
		On the 14th of February, the 21st Panzer Division assaulted Combat Command A of the 1st Armored Division at Faid Pass, and the Afrika Corps survivors attacked the French and Americans on an axis from Gafsa to Feriana to Kasserine.
		Fredendall was the II Corps Commander, and the tone of his guidance was indicative of the pessimistic mood in the Allied high command.

	German Afrika Corps 1941-1945
		It was the emblem of the Afrika Corps commanded by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.
		During the high-point of the Afrika Korps campaign, tank crews would sometimes wire or tie a Nazi flag to the deck for aerial recognition.
		Photographs of Rommel's Corp Command Flag (a metal plate on a staff affixed to a fender) show the word AFRIKA stenciled in fl on the lower red triangle.

	The Hammer of Hell
		When the Afrika Corps surrounded their battalion headquarters and cut the communications to it, single soldiers and then small units abandoned their positions.
		The establishment of the subsequent II Corps defensive line required Jim Harriman to reassess the Antiaircraft Artillery situation the night of the 20th.
		The Germans were Afrika Corps infantrymen who had tried to attack Robinette’s flank in the darkness, had became disoriented, and had ended up several miles east at Bou Chebka Pass.

	Corps and band
		De drum corps tempel bleef bovendien gespaard van de hevige regen en kon een zeer gevarieerde europese drum and bugle corps competitie voorstellen.
		Vanavond is het tijd voor 'Drum Corps Rocks the Town', het gratis evenement van Drum Corps Europe in hartje Rotterdam, op de vooravond van de DCE European Championships.
		Het korps heeft DCE laten weten dat teveel leden pas op vrijdagavond in Rotterdam arriveren, waardoor het korps nog te onvolledig was om op te treden.

		At first the battle against the reserve brigades went bad for the Afrika Corps as they had first contact with the American-made Grant tank that was almost up to par with the Panzer IV, but then drew the brigades into combat one by one and severely mauled them.
		The whole of the Afrika Corps along with the 10th Italians attacked the dug in positions and maze of nests and wire.
		Once lanes were cleared through the mines and ditches by the engineers, the Afrika Corp amour and Rommel in his transport went into the inner defense works, although still under heavy artillery fire.

	German Africa Corps (Erwin Rommel) WW2
		Since there was little turnover in the units attached to the corps the term is commonly used to refer to the headquarters plus its attached combat units as an organic body.
		On February 23 1943 Panzer Army Afrika was redesignated as the 1st Italian Army and put under the command of an Italian general, while Rommel was placed in command of a new Army Group Afrika created to control both the 1st Italian Army and the 5th Panzer Army.
		The most notable of those other units were the Afrika zbV ("special purpose") Division, which was created as an infantry division and slowly upgraded to a fully motorized division, and then redesignated as the 90th Light Division; the 164th Light Afrika Division, also an infantry division; and the Ramcke parachute brigade (named after its commander).

		Desert Rats vs. Afrika Corps is a Real-Time Strategy game set in one of the most crucial fronts of World War 2, North Africa.
		Micromanaging every step your guys take is too much of a task, especially for a game that can be as tough as Desert Rats vs. Afrika Corps is. The AI of the bad guys is a bit more impressive with flank attacks and good use of the terrain.
		To be sure, the graphics of Desert Rats vs. Afrika Corps are quite exceptional with real-time shadows, weather effects and a color palette that conveys the harshness and beauty of the battlefield itself.

	Afrika Corps POWs
		In 1943, one of the fiercest war campaigns had been led by the German Field Marshall Rommel (nicknamed the "Desert Fox") and was fought in North Africa.
		The German Afrika Corps prisoners captured during this battle were brought to Tonkawa.
		The climate in Oklahoma and other southern states is mild and the barracks could be built with less materials is one of the reasons the POW camps were located in these areas.

	The North African Campaign Of World War II
		Both the Afrika Korps and the Eighth Army both totally and constantly relied upon supplies for essential fuel and equipment ranging from tanks and guns all the way down to food and uniforms.
		The Afrika Korps were heavily handicapped by the fact that supplies did, at certain critical times in the campaign, dictate their strategy.
		There is a very clear relation between the events in the Mediterranean and the desert itself, as when the Axis forces virtually annihalated Force K at Malta, Rommel received his supplies and more importantly his armour, and was thus able to take the Eighth Army by surprise at Gazala in May 1942.

		The long defence by Indian troops of the Deir el Shein box and the damage inflicted by heavy artillery fire on the 90th Light Division halted the diversionary attack, whilst the Afrika Corps, severly hampered by bad going and incessant air attacks, had to abandon its envelopmentplan.
		But when Auchinleck launched XIII Corps in a counter-strike towards the coast on 2nd July, it made little ground apart from reducing Rommal's tanks to twenty-six 'runners'.
		Applying his operational plan, Auchinleck struck time and again at Italian positions, forcing the Afrika Corps to dance to his tune.

		Got this info from blues news, seems monte cristo have decided to publish a real game instead of the rubbish strat stuff they usually chuck out.
		Desert Rats Vs. Afrika Corps, looks very similar to blitzkrieg and the forthcoming codename: panzers (both from www.cdv.de), hopefully it will be a bit more 'generals' in the action dept.
		Can I just point out the Britsih Free Corps was a branch of the SS made up of traitors to the crown who opted to work for the germans
