AFRIKA KORPS DOCUMENTS




Two german Postacards: 1) Rommel & axis emblems 2) Iron cross 2nd class - Thanks to Alessandro Vecchio


Original DAK map of Tripoli and northern Libya. It measures 31.5" x 23.5" and includes all sorts of detail such as radio stations, airfields, ship ports, and even Islamic mosques and palm forests! The colors are still vivid and an old fold line down the middle with some crinkles along the edges of the map. Thanks to Andy.

Documents for a General Major Lothar Pfetten in the Afrikakorps by contribution of Jeffrey Wendt


War Service Cross 2nd Class, awarded direct from the Oberkommando des herres with a Keitel signature


War Service Cross 1st Class, awarded direct from the Oberkommando des herres with a Keitel signature


Afrika Armband document, nicely made out with not the usual DER OBERBEFEHABER DER "heeres-gruppe Afrika" but DER OBERBEFEHLABER DER "heeres-grupps Afrika, Generalfeldmarschall Rommel"
