Hey history buffs, in today’s video we drop you right into the cracked leather boots of an Italian conscript heading into the cruel, shimmering furnace of North Africa. The year is 1940. Mussolini’s grand dreams are about to get sandblasted by hard reality. Your mission? Survive the desert, dodge the RAF, and try to make sense of orders shouted in three languages.
