This page from a French-language edition of Der Adler documents the improvised, everyday ingenuity of German airmen and soldiers serving in the North African desert campaign of WWII. Featured are a hand-built stone-and-canvas shelter constructed by an airman for shade and shelter, a repurposed bomb casing turned field latrine, and a salvaged truck converted into a mobile shower unit — glimpses of daily life behind the fighting that the Luftwaffe press presented as evidence of German resourcefulness under harsh desert conditions.
