As others have said, this sketch has a story of its own!
I personally see a worn out WW2 NAVY pilot, one who crash landed in the middle of Sahara, after engaging in some air matching battles with the Luftwaffe - tragically looking back at his only way to go back home.
He was later captured by a nazi patrol unit, who were lost in the desert. Eventually they all died from dehydration as they tried to find their way back to camp base.
Sad...sad story. :D
