Overview:
The fortress of Tobruk, occupied by the resolute 9th Australian Division, had been an unexpected thorn in Rommel's side. Conceived of an constructed by the Italians prior to the Allied capture, the port's outer defenses consisted of a formidable double series of outposts inside a ring of wire and mines. A combined Axis force finally managed to gain a foothold in the western sector on May 1st. The Germans gained control of 15 outposts in a 270 degree arc of the perimeter -- more than enough to threaten the integrity of Tobruk's defense. On the morning of May 10th, a determined effort to retrieve the lost ground was undertaken by the 9th Division.Attacker: Australian (B and C Companies, 7th Australian Division)
Defender: German (5th Light Division)
