Wehrmacht Soldbuch Afrika ?

[TOBRUK]

Hello. a bloke around the corner has quite a few of these he is parting with.
He got this one from an AIF vet who said he brought it back from the desert.
There are photos and money in the back pocket.
Can any one help me determine Afrika korps or not ??
These are the first Soldbuchs i have come across.

When it comes to soldbucher more images are needed to determine the dates someone served with a particular unit, but MG Btl 8 - as listed in Section C on Pg 4 was in Africa, it was one of the first German units sent to Libya, serving under 21 Pz. Division & 90 Lei.Infantry Division.

Mg btl 8 was in the first assault at Tobruk, I think. They were originaly part of the 5th light div and were later reformed as 21st panzer div.
