This standing figure is dressed in the typical Israeli tank crew ‘overalls’ complete with binos around his neck and carrying his ‘bone-dome’ helmet under his left arm. On his right side he carries a 9mm Browning Hi-Power semi- automatic pistol in a holster on his web belt.
Israeli tank commanders were ‘infamous’ for exposing themselves in the open top turret hatch... All the better to see what was happening all around their tank. Their Arab opponents however preferred to stay ‘locked-down’, inside their turrets therefore limiting their visual awareness of what was happening all around their tanks.
