Panzer Armee Afrika
As the number of German armed forces committed to the North Africa Campaign of World War II grew from the initial commitment of a small corps the Germans developed a more elaborate command structure and placed the now larger Afrika Korps, with Italian units under this new German command structure, a succession of different German commands were created to manage the Axis assets in Africa:
- Panzer Group Africa, (Panzergruppe Afrika, Gruppo Carro Armato Africa) August 1941-January 1942; German-Italian force
- Panzer Army Africa, (Panzerarmee Afrika, Armata Carro Armato Africa) January-October 1942
- German-Italian Panzer Army, (Deutsch-Italienische Panzerarmee, Armata Carro Armato Italiano-Tedesco) October 1942-February 1943
- Army Group Africa, (Heeresgruppe Afrika, Gruppo d'Armate Africa) February-May 1943
