‘the Qattara Depression .. was impassable’.

Tell that to the SAS! This was the time that the SAS had just been formed (Sept ’42). In conjunction with the Long Range Desert Force they operated behind enemy lines, using the impassable Qattara depression, to attack Axis airfields and ports. There’s an excellent TV series about their creation called SAS Rogue Heroes; if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. You could be forgiven for believing that it was a creation of an imaginative TV writer but 99% of it is factual.
