Synopsis: "A marvellous collection of original wartime colour photos…For both historians and modellers, the variations in uniforms and their colours will be a great reference..." — Military Model Scene Take a visual journey through North Africa during the Second World War with Anthony Tucker-Jones and Ian Spring as they chart the path of Erwin Rommel and his Afrika Korps through a series of stunning, rare color photographs.

Rommel’s Afrika Korps In Color affords readers a new way of reading and learning about one of the most unique campaigns in the Second World War, and will stay with them long after they turn the final page.
