Georg von Bismarck with His Troops

 

Generalmajor Georg von Bismarck (Kommandeur 21. Panzer-Division) with his subordinates. In January 1942 he was transferred to Africa to serve in the Afrikakorps as commander of the 21st Panzer Division. Here he served under Rommel, just like in France one year previously. Bismarck was killed by a mine while leading his Division in the Battle of Alam el Halfa, 31 August 1942.  He was posthumously promoted to the rank of Generalleutnant.
