Item Description
Original Item: One-of-a-kind-album. This is a wonderful personal photo album that measures approximately 9" x 6 1/2". Front cover features a great image of a Camel next to a North African desert nomad.
It contains 60 personal photos and 9 postcards on 20 pages with onion skin partitions between pages. The personal photos all seem to be in North Africa, and suggest that the owner was a member of the Luftwaffe, though most of the photos are not military in nature. All photos are on period paper and held in place with corner stays. The postcards are from both North Africa and Southern Italy.
A great Luftwaffe Serviceman's photo album from the German Afrikakorps, ready to research and display!
History of the German Africa Corps
The Afrikakorps or German Africa Corps (German: Deutsches Afrikakorps, DAK) was the German expeditionary force in Africa during the North African Campaign of World War II. First sent as a holding force to shore up the Italian defense of their African colonies, the formation fought on in Africa, under various appellations, from March 1941 until its surrender in May 1943. The unit's best known commander was Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.
