Hi Brendan,

It is said to be about 10 Km south of Sid Abd el Rahman. Here Gen Ritter von Thoma stood by his destroyed tank and faced the British 8th Army at the last.

I think it could be at 30 deg 50' 00" N, 28 deg 49' 00" E in Google Earth, but it is extremely difficult to tell.

You apparently need to watch out for mines even today.

Anyway, have a great trip, it will be fantastic to visit this area.
