Schmidt served as the chief press spokesman for Joachim von Ribbentrop's Foreign Ministry. In this capacity during WWII, he maintained close ties with the Wehrmacht, while he served in the Allgemeine-SS (General SS). One of his specialties was the "Jewish question". After the war, Carell became a successful author, although some critics have claimed that his books romanticized and whitewashed the Wehrmacht. Paul Karl Schmidt became a member of the Nazi Party in 1931 and a member of the SS in 1938. He graduated from university in 1934, and became an assistant at the Institute of Psychology of the Universität Kiel in Germany. He held several positions in the Nazi Student Association. Schmidt was arrested on 6 May 1945 and interned for 30 months. During the Ministries Trial, part of the Nuremberg Trials, he finally appeared as a witness for the prosecution, and portrayed himself as a fighter for democratic freedom of the press. After World War II, Schmidt became a writer. Aided by the network of 'old comrades' working in the publishing industry, he was able to secure assignments. Starting in the 1950s, he wrote for the popular magazine Kristall. He first used the pseudonym Paul Karell, and later Paul Carell. More

New York: Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 1994. Reprint Edition. Hardcover. 379 pages. Includes the new Preface to the 1994 edition. This book, which tells its story for the first time from the German viewpoint and with a great deal of hitherto unpublished material, is the complete story of one of the most bitterly fought, exciting campaigns in modern warfare. This is the definitive work on the Afrika Korps and the other German Forces who served in the Western Desert and Tunisia during World War II. Dominating the story are the personality and the brilliant strategy and tactics of the wily, fast-thinking, and hard-hittling "Desert Fox," Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. The author tells the full story of the great German master of desert armored warfare and his men and other German forces in North Africa, during their many months of bitterly contested fighting against the pick of Britain's forces, and the Americans under Eisenhower.
