The Afrikakorps diary was prized by friend and foe for its useful information, generous proportions, and stylish interior. For the first time since World War II, a new edition has been issued, with facsimiles of the uncensored content in German, alongside English translations. The diary is adjusted to 2021, with year-to-view calendars and a weekly planner (one week per double page), in the same style as the original. The diary runs to nearly 200 pages, including more than 50 pages of advice and intelligence on African geopolitics, history, culture, languages, currencies, animals, desert hazards, maps, weights and measures, plus an impressive phrase book in 7 languages.
