Description
Four German war graves in Tunisia, 1943. The location is not obvious, but the date on all of the grave markers is 28 February 1943, suggesting that these are casualties of Operation Ochsenkopf. Since the photographer, Elliot Elisofon, was photographing the Hunt's Gap battlefield, and since the foliage here resembles that area, we can speculate that these are casualties of the fierce battle at Ksar Mezouar; perhaps crew from a single tank.
