War on the Western Desert-in California
To prepare his “Afrika Korps” for desert fighting, Germany’s field marshall Erwin Hommel had to resort to such improvisations as sun lamps and hot-boxes, but when Uncle Sam wants to stage a preview of war in the desert, he does as Hollywood does—he goes “on location” in a desert of his own, in California. Out at Indio, California, a group of desert raiders from an armored division practice the desert panzer tactics which are their specialty—breaking through to the rear of the enemy lines to raid, kill, and disrupt communications, and in general raise havoc. They call themselves “Gage’s Gangsters,” after Lt. John B. Gage of Cleveland, who is their leader.
