Before this ends, does anyone have an item
of information that will clear up something
I've been wondering about for years.  In
pictures of the Staff cars, and communication
cars used by the Germans in North Africa,
what is that horizontal rectangular frame that's
as wide and long as the vehicle, and installed
just above the driver's head?  A german solder
told me once that it was an antenna of some kind.
