“Standing on a car, I could see Rommel’s black tanks moving down the far slope and into the valley with our shell bursts moving with them… I watched the movement of German and British tanks by the flashes from their guns. There would be 20 or 30 flashes and rolling thunder from one point as the Germans stopped to fire and almost at once, flashes and thunder as British tanks replied. Flashes in the dark were firing at flashes in the dark. The earth was shaking, and the night illuminated by the Very lights, star shells and burning vehicles or petrol dumps.”
