Overview:
The Afrika Korps wasted no time in seizing the initiative from the British. Though Rommel had orders not to attack until the end of May, he attacked anyway with the limited forces available and caught the British off guard. The British overestimated Rommel’s strength and retreated in good order. Rommel, however, struck with lightning speed and achieved a breakthrough at Mersa Brega which touched off a week-long, 500 mile chaotic British retreat which the British dubbed “the Tobruk derby”.Attacker: German (Spearhead of the 5th Light Division)
Defender: British (Retreating elements of the Western Desert Force)
