In the game
A huge desert map of tank battles at a strategic point between Libya and Egypt, 1941-42.
The real place
The Sollum and Halfaya Pass chokepoint on the border saw repeated battles in 1941-42, including Operation Battleaxe at 'Hellfire Pass'. The map's terrain is fictional.
Visiting
The Halfaya Sollum War Cemetery is the practical stop; this is a remote border zone, so check access first.
