This collection of Grade A scrap steel, according to the Germans, is all that is left of a British tank force after a recent skirmish near the border between Libya and Egypt. The Germans were confidently preparing last week to add to their collection of junked British weapons. In reconnaissance-in-force across the Egyptian border, they drove two fairly strong tank columns into British forward positions to feel out strength, then withdrew them quickly.

The plot involves a couple of violent deaths which only add to the fun, and the leading character is Tom Dewey minus mustache. All of it is, therefore, rather confusing and not at all significant drama.
