Thank you Kuno for the information! I will change my site picture to reflect the new information. The picture you provided was interesting. Did you take it? I remember the Egyptians and the Libiyans having a tank battle over this area in the late seventies. I was always curious over this conflict as I did not have much information from the news.
The book can be purchased through http://www.axiseuropa.com...it was out of print at one time, but he may have more copies. I was fortunate to get the book-proof photos from Rex Trye(the author). He had many he did not put in the book. Great book by the way. It has a lot of interesting anecdotal stuff, which I like. If you can't find the book, let me know. I may have a spare copy. Rex's book "Mussolini's Soldiers" is good as well.
