Unloading an 88mm gun

One of the German 88mm guns covering the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfaya_Pass&quot;&gt;Halfaya Pass&lt;/a&gt; 
 in Egypt, 1941. British soldiers nicknamed it the &quot;Hellfire Pass&quot;. The German defenders were commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Wilhelm Bach (&quot;the pastor of purgatory&quot;), a WW1 veteran, who was a protestant priest in civil life. Eventually the Germans ran out of ammo, food and water and hat to surrender to the British (January 17, 1942). As a POW Wilhelm Bach died of cancer at Toronto/Canada on December 22, 1942.
