BK125
Das Afrika Korps
Erwin Rommel and the Germans in Africa, 1941-43
by Franz Kurowski
Book Description:
This action-packed history of the Germans in Africa in World War II covers one of the most famous military units of all time under one of the best commanders.
"LOOK THEY'RE COMING STRAIGHT AT US!"
Unteroffizier Heintze alerted his comrades. He took one of the tanks up in his sights, knocking it out barely 200 meters in front of the gun's position. The second tank continued to approach. It reeked of burned oil and cordite. The tracks rattled loudly. The steel monster was then in the Germans' position and rolled over one of the gun trails. It kept going.
It was uiet again for a while. Then ten enemy tanks showed up off to the flank. The flak opened fire at 5,000 meters. When the enemy tanks had closed to 4,000 meters, the lead vehicle was hit and came to a halt. Then a second one was hit. The enemy was flabbergasted. The Germans were engaging them at ranges that were impossible to conceive. The eight remaining tanks turned and disappeared into the evening twilight.
