Erwin Rommel, Hitlers so-called Desert Fox, is possibly the most famous German Field-Marshal of WWII. He is widely regarded as the one of the most skilled commanders of desert warfare and, in contrast to other leaders of Nazi Germany, is considered to have been a chivalrous and humane officer.

The letters of his adjutant provide a unique picture of Rommel during his time in Libya. Hans-Joachim Schraepler was by Rommels side in North Africa for ten crucial months in 194041. During that time, he wrote to his wife almost every day. In most cases, the correspondence went via the usual channels but occasionally he used other methods to avoid the censors gaze.

Through his letters, Schraepler supplies a vivid image of the first phase of the North Africa campaign. He covers the siege of Tobruk, the capture of Benghazi, and the difficulties experienced by those fighting in Cyrenica and the wider North African theater. He also complains that the Italian were poor Allies, lacking training and leadership, and that Berlin regarded North Africa as a theater of only secondary importance.

Schraepler also provides insights into Rommels character  his dynamism and tactical skill, along with the growing cult of personality which seemed to surround him. One of his unofficial tasks, for example, was to respond in Rommels name to much of the fan mail that arrived at the Afrikakorps HQ.

Hans-Albrecht Schraepler was only seven years old when his father died. The cache of letters was held by his mother and remained untouched for sixty years. His fathers last letter, found the day of his death, remains unfinished.
