image: A view of the back of a tank driving along a desert road, closely followed by a military motorbike. They appear to
be following a convoy of vehicles driving ahead on a road that winds around some hills in the distance. Along one side of the road there

are crosses in the sand. On the other side there is a burnt-out German tank and further along, some ruined buildings.
