Under Rommel's command, these troops were instrumental in reclaiming territories such as Cyrenaica and Tobruk before advancing into Egypt. Despite their initial successes, supply shortages and the Allied forces' pressure eventually led to their retreat to Tunisia in 1943. This model set allows enthusiasts to recreate and study these key moments in military history.
