Description
This photo was supposedly taken during the tank battle of 14 February 1943, near Sidi bou Zid. By using Google Earth's terrain model, we can verify that.
In this image, we have stretched the terrain vertically by a factor of 3. This reveals the subtle shape of the horizon. The mountain in the photo is an exact match for Djebel Mrhila as seen from the battlefield. The presence of two Panzers in an open field tends to confirm the claim that this photo was taken during the battle.
