Afrika Korps Logo10/15/2020
An inquiry has been launched following claims that German soldiers preparing for a tour of duty in Afghanistan displayed a Nazi-era emblem on an official vehicle.Todays edition of the magazine Stern contains a picture which allegedly shows the car with a palm tree and iron cross on it being used at a holding camp in Oman five years ago.Its believed to be a clear reference to an emblem used by the Afrika Corps during the Second World War, under the command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.
EuroNews Here is the photo: Now here is the old Nazi Afrika Corps Symbol. Sure, if you really want to stretch your imagination, then just possibly it might be the same Nazi symbol. And did you catch that, the photo is five years old (It might be that the Afrika Corps logo was the inspiration for the new logo, but militaries are steeped in tradition, and you can bet that some Nazi traditions can still be found in their modern military with some other traditions pre-dating the Nazi Period. Anyway, if you dont look back, then you can never learn from your mistakes.) I bet however that their are symbols all over Germany that can be connected in some way back to the Nazi past. Take Lufthansa (or Volkswagen for that matter.) They were around, or created by the Nazis. However, they were completely rebuilt as new entities after the war. So this news is more propaganda, surely put out by those in Germany who are against German Forces in Afghanistan, nothing more. Just keep in mind that in Heidelberg (Germany) one of the US army facilities resides in an old building which was used from the Nazis as well. Yes they still hold the swastika, the army guys just put two metal plates to cover them. ![]() Afrika Corps, hell they kicked but I have some relatives ho engaged in combat with those guys and would tell you the same thing. As for their commander his tactics are still thought in military schools world wide. Oh please You cant see the resemblance Really There is no doubt the image on the vehicle is inspired by the Africa Corps logo. Period. End of story. I mean, cmon brothah. This symbol was used in the afrika korps group you numbskull, i have undeniable proof that completely destroys your theory of misleading propaganda. My great grandfather was apart of this specific regiment and i actually HAVE the dog tag from him and actually shows the symbol that you call fake.
