Desert Dig Site Clearing
Sand Beyond the Next Tent (Dig Site Clearing)
Loose sand grips the wheels of a stuck jeep just beyond the next tent above the map room in the occupied desert dig site. German soldiers bark sharp orders as the jeep bogs down; Sallah fingers a rope nearby, feigning nonchalance before being coerced to help. Dust hangs in the hot daylight and activity swells in the bustling camp, the mired vehicle diverting allies and sharpening the race against time amid the excavation.
