Who was Hitler's north African commander?
Starting in February 1941, General Erwin Rommel commanded the German units that were sent to Libya to assist the Italians in the desert combat against the British in eastern North Africa (Libya & Egypt). This unit was called the Deutsches Afrikakorps (German Africa Corps). As the number of German units sent to North Africa increased, Rommel assumed command of the newly created and larger Panzergruppe Afrika (PanzerGroup Africa) from August 1941 to January 1942. This group included two Italian Corps in addition to the German units. His skill earned him the nickname "Desert Fox". On January 30, 1942 his command was redesignated as the Panzerarmee Afrika (Panzer Army Africa). However, after his defeat at the Second Battle of El Alamein in Egypt (October 23, 1942-November 5, 1942), his command was forced to retreat to the west, all the way to south Tunisia by January 1943. By then Rommel's command had been redesignated as the Deutsch-Italienische Panzerarmee (German-Italian Panzer Army). The Americans & British had recently invaded Morocco & Algeria (Operation Torch) and were driving east towards Tunisia. At northern Tunisia German General Hans-Jürgen von Arnim commanded the newly arrived German 5th Panzer Army.

How much does an authentic German Panzer tank cost?
It's difficult to put a price on a genuine Panzer from WW2. There aren't that many running around. However, to give an idea of what it might cost, someone is currently selling (June 2012) an authentic restored 1943 M18 Hellcat for $469,000 USD. A high quality replica (non functional guns) has just been marked down to $149,000 USD. I guess it's hard to find a place to park a 26 ton 11' wide behemouth without having the neigbours complain. In 2008, a stash of 22 rusted out, stripped Panzer tanks from WW2 were auctioned off in Bulgaria. They were left over from the war and sold off - starting bids for these rusted out relics was $124,467 USD. No word on what the final bids were.

Infanterie-DivisionItalian 1a Divisione di Fanteria "Superga"It may also have had operational command of other mainly italian divisions during 1943 at times, but in reality it was not really a 'army size' formation, since the troops it commanded could well have been a corps level formation. I do not know the number of personnel, but considering the number of divisions I suppose we are looking at approx. 40 000 - 50 000 men.
