EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during World War Two. It showcases a captured German Panzer Mk III tank in North Africa, circa 1942. The photograph was taken by Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, a member of the 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters). During the campaign in North Africa, particularly in 1941 and 1942, the Mark III tank served as the German Army's primary strike weapon. Known for its speed and maneuverability, it proved to be well-suited for desert warfare conditions. The tank could be equipped with either a 37 mm or 50 mm cannon. The image is part of an album compiled by Major W. H. J Sale, MC, which contains a total of 45 photographs documenting his experiences from 1938 to 1945. This particular photograph provides insight into the armoured warfare tactics employed during this period. Now housed at the National Army Museum in London, this photo serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience displayed by soldiers on both sides of the conflict. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the challenges faced during wartime while appreciating the historical significance of such artifacts.
