I purchased a black and white photograph. Intrigued by its mystery, I researched, investigated and followed its trail to Tunisia, North Africa where the photograph was originally taken. I hitched a ride with a group of International Star Wars fans that were visiting the locations and sets in Tunisia, in order to find the location that the photograph was taken sixty years ago. In the Sahara desert, by accident, I met an elderly Bedouin man that was a witness to the German tank in the photograph. He was eight years old at the time, but recalled the exact spot the photograph was taken and remembered the German soldiers that had burned inside of the tank. My chance meeting with him confirmed that I had found a story worth telling.
