This is not a just the exploration of a battlefield but also of a legend. See where the Desert Fox really was, and not where history books place him. Often described as the “Last Knight of Europe” it was, however, in the sands of North Africa that Rommel really made a name for himself. A highly successful tour which has included Historians and Authors. Sites to be visited include Prittwitz’s bridge, the “White House” the famous German field hospital, Fig Tree hospital and map of Australia built in stone by Australian wounded, “Tobruk Bypass”, Hill 209, Bir Hakim, El Adem Road and Post R33, Sidi Rezegh and much more.A tour for Rommel and Afrika Korps enthusiasts. |
