Kubelwagon's Critical Intelligence
Vital intelligence—possibly the Grail itself—transported inside the fleeing Kubelwagon during the desert tank pursuit. Vogel spots the vehicle from his tank command position and snaps the order to the gunner: 'Den Kubelwagon sprengen!' The gunner loads and fires a shell; the blast erupts, hurling the Kubelwagon skyward in flames before it slams back to earth and crunches flat under the tank's advancing treads. No physical details of the intelligence emerge before its total obliteration.
