Synopsis:
The crew of the Haunted Tank discovers a destroyed tank in the desert. They locate the only survivor, a captain named Phil, who is delirious from the desert heat. He informs Jeb that a Panzer group is nearby, but the only clue to their location that he gives them is an umbrella. Without knowing the exact location of the enemy tanks, Jeb stays in the field until he finds them despite a lack of water.

After encountering and destroying a couple of enemy tanks the Haunted Tank finally locates the Panzers hidden under a camouflaged tent. Jeb calls for an air strike, but must engage the enemy tanks in order to create a smoke column for the planes to target. Once the smoke is in the air, Jeb and his crew clear out, so the planes can destroy the tanks.
