The DAK (Deutsches Afrika Korps) was comprised of the 15th and 21st Panzer Divisions and the 90th Light Division. The first commander was General Erwin Rommel. The Allies tended to call all German troops in North Africa the "Afrika Korps" even though they weren't part of the DAK. November 1942 saw the British forces begin to become the victors. In March 1943 Rommel was replaced by von Arnim who surrendered May 12, 1943. The DAK existed from February 1941 until their surrender in Tunisia in May 1943.
