The Afrika Korps or German Africa Corps was the German expeditionary force in Africa during the North African Campaign of World War II. First sent as a holding force to shore up the Italian defence of their African colonies, the formation fought on in Africa, under various appellations, from March 1941 until its surrender in May 1943. The unit's best known commander was Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, commonly known as "the Desert Fox". The Desert Spies are part of the Afrika Korps.

Medal of Honor: European Assault[]
General description []
Found in just one theatre, the North Africa theatre, these soldiers are dressed in khaki uniforms and sand-coloured helmets. They are found in the levels Operation: Blindfold and Operation: V2 Silence.
Weapons []
- MP40
- Karabiner 98 Kurz
- MG42
- Melee
Behaviour []
These soldiers are the grunts of the Wehrmacht. They will use cover, blindfire, and suppress the player and his or her allies to cover their own comrades. They are also very fast to melee the player, and will charge very quickly before landing several quick blows.
Fighting against them []
Their AI might be good, but not great. They are slow to react to much, and focus, 85% of the time, on the player, allowing his or her allies to kill them. Their aim is also fairly bad. Just peeking around cover will allow the player to get good shots off and not get hit.
Medal of Honor: Heroes[]
General description[]
There are German troops in Medal of Honor: Heroes that appear in Italy and have tropical uniforms but these troops are actually reused Afrika Korps models (with blue pants and blue helmets with no goggles) from Medal of Honor: European Assault and are called Desert Infantry in game despite not fighting in deserts.
