"No, Herr Hauptman, I have not been out in the sun too long.

It was more like a monster..." And after that report from a badly-frightened radio operator came into Nazi HQ, a wave of fear swept the desert. What was the Thing that struck from the shadows like a prehistoric beast? Only four men knew...and they were all listed as dead! Weekly British War comics digest.
