Overview:
While the 150th Brigade was being destroyed by essentially the entire Afrika Korps, little action of any kind was taken by the strong British armored units pinning the Germans and Italians into the Cauldron. An ambitious offensive, however, was being planned by the British high command, who deemed it "Aberdeen". This operation consisted of a massive frontal assault directly into the Cauldron area, using a night infantry attack followed closely by armor, both with heavy artillery support. The 22nd Armoured Brigade was to dive through the center of the Axis line held by Ariete, then swing north to take the Afrika Korps from the rear.Attacker: British (22nd Armoured Brigade)
Defender: German (Pakfront of DAK Army HQ and 21st Panzer Division)
