My Father(deceased) told a story about,his part in Hitler's downfall.
In Cairo in 1942 he was the,Green Howard's driver given the task of taking General von Thoma(who replaced Rommel) to see the Sphinx.
Apparently before he would sign the surrender of the Africa Korps,his last request was to see the Sphinx.Dad had to oblige.
My father's initial comment was:" Where the hell is the Sphinx"
However,Dad made it and the rest is history.
Can anyone verify?

Well that sounds like a great story, I wouldn't worry too much if it's true!
