The Afrika Korps or German Africa Corps (German: Deutsches Afrikakorps, DAK listen (help·info)) 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 term
"Afrika Korps" is actually pseudo-German (sometimes called "cod-German"),
deriving from an incomplete German title, which was in any case written
as a single word. The German term referred solely to the initial
formation, the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK), which formed part of
the Axis command of the German and Italian forces in North Africa.
However, the name stuck, with both news media and Allied soldiers, as
the name for all subsequent German units in North Africa. The reputation
of the Afrika Korps is closely associated with that of its original
commander, Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel
