This is Operation Ochsenkopf getting under way on 26 February 1943.
The Tiger is "131" of s.Pz.Abt.501 (not the same Tiger 131 that survives today) and the staff car holds Col. Lang (in the front right-hand seat) who is in charge of the operation. He has some map-reading to do, because the operation was put together very rapidly and there has been no reconnaissance of the route ahead.
Within a week the Colonel will have lost 7 Tigers, a serious blow to Afrika Korps morale.
