Panzer Army Africa
German-Italian armed forces division in North Africa during WWII
As the number of German troops committed to the North African Campaign of World War II grew from the initial commitment of a small corps, the Germans developed a more elaborate command structure and placed the enlarged Afrika Korps, with Italian units under this new Italian and German command and a succession of commands were created to manage Axis forces in Africa:
- Panzer Group Africa, (Panzergruppe Afrika, Gruppo Corazzato Africa) August 1941 – January 1942; German-Italian force
- Panzer Army Africa, (Panzerarmee Afrika, Armata Corazzata Africa) January–October 1942
- German-Italian Panzer Army, (Deutsch-Italienische Panzerarmee, Armata Corazzata Italo-Tedesca) October 1942 – February 1943
- Army Group Africa, (Heeresgruppe Afrika, Gruppo d'Armate Africa) February–May 1943
