Answer

In early 1941, Homuth's unit was transferred to North Africa. There, he joined the Afrika Korps, a German expeditionary force led by Erwin Rommel. Homuth's unit played a crucial role in the initial successes of the Afrika Korps, capturing several key British positions and advancing deep into Egypt. However, the tide of the war eventually turned against the Germans, and Homuth was captured by the British in 1942.
