Panzers in the Desert presents a focused, visually driven look at the North African campaign through a German lens: a selection of original wartime photographs taken by German war correspondents attached to Rommel’s Afrika Korps. The images—men, tanks, guns and other vehicles set against the harsh desert—offer a frontline, contemporary perspective on German armoured operations in World War II, making the book a compelling primary-source window into desert warfare and the experiences of Panzer units.
This photographic album is a visual reference compiled from archival negatives in the Bundesarchiv, Koblenz; the black‑and‑white photographs are described as rare or otherwise interesting and are of particular value to historians, modellers, wargamers and military enthusiasts. Authored by Bruce Quarrie, the second edition was published in 1988 by Patrick Stephens (ISBN 9781852601539 / 1-85260-153-1) and is organized as a pictorial documentation of German armoured forces in North Africa.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
