Breaking Through the Last of the German Minefields at El Alamein - 4th November 1942 image: In the foreground a damaged ambulance lies half-submerged in the sand, the back door detached. Two tanks, the foremost of which is clearly a Sherman, drive away from the viewer, creating a trail of sand and dust. Overhead the sky is filled with aircraft, clouds of smoke and explosions. One plane has been hit and is nose-diving towards the ground.
