The Afrika Korps insignia.
The Afrika Korps (German: Deutsches Afrikakorps, DAK; English: German Africa Corps) was Nazi Germany's expeditionary force in Libya and Tunisia during World War II. Originally a "blocking force" sent to support the Royal Italian Army in Libya, the Afrika Korps combated the Allied forces during the North African Campaign of the war. The force was active between February 12, 1941 to May 13, 1943, and had a reputation for its will to fight the superior Allied forces to the very end.
Battlefield 1942
In Battlefield 1942, the Afrika Korps appears as one of the base game Axis factions, and as one of three available military forces of Germany in the game. The force fights exclusively against the British Army on maps in the African Theater.

Kits
The Afrika Korps' military equipment does not differ from the Wehrmacht's.
Soldier kits wear similar uniforms to the Wehrmacht as well, but use green field tunics with tan web gear along with tan trousers and helmets. A yellow armband labelled with the text "AFRIKA KORPS" is present on each kit's right arm.

Vehicles
As with weapons, the Afrika Korps uses the same vehicles as the Wehrmacht, albeit with a smaller overall selection. However, their vehicles are given desert camouflage instead of the Wehrmacht's grey camouflage - tan for ground vehicles and aircraft, with the Stuka sporting a distinctive leopard pattern.
