El Alamein from the Axis Side
Weapons and Desert Warfare of the Afrika Korps and Folgore Division in 1942 El Alamein was not only a battle of men and commanders. It was a battle of tanks, guns, fuel, ammunition, mobility, and survival in one of the harshest environments of the Second World War. This book takes the reader into the North African desert of 1942 to examine the struggle from the Axis side of the battlefield. German and Italian forces faced an increasingly powerful Allied army while operating at the end of a long and fragile supply line. Rather than simply retelling the familiar story of El Alamein, this book explores how the Axis forces actually fought, the weapons they used, and the technical and logistical conditions that shaped the battle. Discover the tanks and armored vehicles of the Afrika Korps and Italian divisions; anti-tank guns and artillery; infantry weapons and minefields; reconnaissance and communications; aircraft and air support; and the immense challenge of supplying an army with fuel, water, ammunition and spare parts in the desert. Special attention is given to the Folgore Division, its defensive tactics, equipment, and resistance against heavily armored attacks. Inside you will discover: - German and Italian tanks and armored vehicles
