Afrikakorps #3

The third volume in Olivier Speltens's Afrikakorps series brings the North African campaign to one of its most pivotal flashpoints — El Alamein. The cover pulls you in immediately with a weathered German soldier, headphones around his neck and Iron Cross visible at his collar, staring outward against a haze of desert smoke and dust that feels oppressive even on the page. Part of Paquet's Mémoire 1939–1945 collection, this 2022 album promises the grounded, human-scale storytelling the series is built on.
