  Afrika Korps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
On October 1, 1941, the German 5th Light Division was redesignated as the 21st Panzer Division, still attached to the Afrika Korps.
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.

 Deutsches Afrika Korps
The Deutsches Afrika Korps (often just Afrika Korps or DAK) was the corps-level headquarters controlling the German Panzer divisions in Lybia and Egypt's Western Desert[?] during World War II.
At this time the DAK consisted of the two divisions plus various smaller supporting units, and was officially subordinated to the Italian chain of command in Africa (though Rommel had conducted his offensive without any authorization).
On August 15 Panzer Group Afrika was activated with Rommel in command, and command of the DAK was turned over to Ludwig Crüwell[?].

 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.
Often outnumbered, usually undersupplied, the Deutsches Afrikakorps succeeded because of the technical superiority of its weaponry, the skill of its leadership, and the élan of its men.
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.

The Afrika Korps forces reached the lines on January 30, with the 21st Panzer Division meeting the French defenders at Faïd and rolling over them with little effort.
Several attempts were made to stop their advance by the US 1st Armored Division, but all three "Combat Commands" found themselves faced with the classic blitzkrieg, every time they were ordered into position, they would find those positions overrun and were attacked by German defenders with heavy losses.
The Battle of the Kasserine Pass took place in World War II during the Battle of Tunisia, fought between the German Afrika Korps under General Erwin Rommel, and the Americans under General Lloyd Fredendall in the Kasserine Pass (a 2 mile wide gap in the of the Atlas Mountains) in central Tunisia.
