I knew an old guy who said during WW2 he joined the army and went to Africa. What was he doing there? (I didn’t know him very well and he’s probably dead now so I can’t ask him directly). Was there any war related stuff going on in Africa?

North Africa was essentially a third front. I think Italy was already in the process of invading Ethiopia in the late 30s, and tried to expand in Libya and Egypt during the war.
Also, Rommel was the well known Nazi general who was in charge of North Africa
