These are Stackpole books Panzerspike in the Sand #1 and #2 . The pictures are not the crispist pics I’ve seen but there are many a lot I had never seen . #1 is of course the early years and #2 is 42-43. Well worth having lots of great pictures not the same old pics.

This is a Schiffer hardbound big book moderate priced shop around. It’s all about the 15th PzD and is not all Africa but mostly. The pics are not the crispist but it’s a good book. Lots of different pics not the same ole thing.
 
These three Concord Publications owned by Dragon models are very good basic books pictorials with picture notes. The first one is by Tom Cockle highly suggested buy. But all three are fairly cheap and good modelers helpers.
 
Well Gang ,

These are most of my Africa Korps oriented books I have others but these I use the most for good reference. Hope this Helps.

Those Time Life books were awesome, my BiL learned how to be a carpenter (hobby) reading those things.

It was their TV commercial for that series that had a german guy frying an egg on the armor plate of something, I've looked for that since then but can't find it on the internet.
