Hello friends,
are you joking, when you translate "Afrikacorps" as "Africa Basket"? Unfortunately I am not so familiar with your language.
As far as I know the word "corps", originating from french, describes a bigger military unit, so they called all the German troops send to Africa during WWII the "Afrikacorps".
The pronunciation in German is simply "kor".
Kind regards from Germany,
Peter
