Erwin Rommel and Luftwaffe Officers in Africa


General der Panzertruppe Erwin Rommel (center, Befehlshaber Panzergruppe "Afrika") is chatting with General der Flieger Hans Geisler (Kommandierender General X. Fliegerkorps), while behind Rommel stands Oberstleutnant im Generalstab Siegfried Westphal (Ia Panzergruppe "Afrika"). The picture was taken in Derna, Libya, on 30 September 1941. Note the building walls in the background that have been carefully painted in camouflage!
