ReviewsA marvellous collection of original wartime colour photos, selected from the large private collection of Ian Spring, plus the text from well known author, Anthony Tucker-Jones... For both historians and modellers, the variations in uniforms and their colours will be a great reference, likewise the colours and weathering on the vehicles and aircraft which equipped the Afrika Korps. Even pictures of Rommel in his captured Dorchester command vehicles are included, still in their British camouflage but with German national markings. As a long-time modeller myself, the colour references in here will be invaluable, just as much as the total content will fascinate historians interested in the story of the war in North Africa., Virtually every photo is unposed, frank, straightforward and patently sincere of an enemy ordered to rule the world., I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would heartily state that if you are at all interested in the war in North Africa, it is quite deserving of a spot in your bookcase., The 255 color photos provide the eye-popping visual candy for modelers and tabletop desert terrain buffs.
