A google search shows lots of info on sun spots and their cycles.  Take a 
look at: http://science.msfc.nasa.gov/ssl/pad/solar/images/zurich.gif

This is a graphical presentation for all of the cycles from 1750 to the 
present.  Looks like the maxima for World War Two was actually around
1939 with the next minima around 1945.  This means that the signals out of 
the Afrika Corps in '41 & '42 would have been fairly high on the slope down 
from the maxima and propagation could have been pretty good for the early 
forties before they were driven out of Africa in 1943 (I think if memory 
serves me!).
