This photo of Afrika Korps soldiers resting in the desert was taken by their famous commander Erwin Rommel c. 1941-2. German troops in North Africa collectively became known as the “Afrika Korps,” although Rommel’s army changed its official title several times. The remains of four German soldiers, three under age 25, who fought under Rommel’s command were found in the Egyptian desert near El Alamein in a surprise discovery. (National Archives)
