The Afrika Korps, a Nazi German military unit led by Field Marshall [[Erwin Rommel]].  The Afrika Korps entered the North African campaign to aid Germany's Italian allies when the Italians suffered a series of defeats at the hands of the British.  Rommel launched an offensive from El Agheila which pushed the British back into [[Egypt]].  The British subsequently attacked advancing back to El Aghelia.  Again the Afrika Korps attacked pushing the British Commonwealth forces back to [[Egypt]] where the German advance was stopped at the first battle of El Alamein.

The only Allied success against the Afrika Korps was at the second battle of [[El Alamein]] in late 1942.  The Allies suffered heavier losses but forced Rommel to retreat, against the orders of [[Adolf Hitler]].

The British Commonwealth forces then defeated the Afrika Korps at Alam Halfa and the second battle of [[El Alamein]] in late 1942.

Shortly afterwards, the Americans launched [[Operation Torch]] along with some British troops and some [[Free French]] forces.  Operation Torch defeated the Afrika Korps and eventually forced them to surrender.
