Okay, I did have to look it up, but I knew it wasn't Arnim or Rommel. Actually, Rommel gave up command of the Afrika Korp in the summer of '41 when Hitler activated Panzer Group Africa with Rommel in command. The Afrika Korps remained a distinct unit until destroyed in May '43.

Only the Afrika Korps used the Palm Tree/Swastika seal, not all German forces in Africa.
