Die Ecken werden von vier Rundtürmen — mit einem Durchmesser von sechs Metern — flankiert. Er wurde durch Wirtschaftskraft entschieden. Stattdessen wurde das Gros der deutschen Flugzeuge aus dem Mittelmeer nach Südrussland verlegt, um den Vormarsch nach Stalingrad und in den Kaukasus zu unterstützen. At the end of April, virtually all Tobruk-based fighters had been removed from the encircled port. The Ju 87s were facing defenders with anti-aircraft artillery numbering 88 guns—28 heavy 90 mm or above.
Ships lent their weapons to the defenders. In an example, the gunboat Ladybird , sunk in shallow waters to her deck by II.
The arrival of Italian Ju 87s from 97 Gruppo resulted in the sinking of the 3,ton tanker Helka on 25 May before it could reach Tobruk.
Commensurate with the sinking of Fiona and Chakla in April, the burden fell to the Mediterranean Fleet 's destroyers to carry the burden but supply operations in daylight and on moonlit nights proved hazardous.
This unit also sank the destroyer Waterhen. The gunners changed their tactics from a sustained barrage at a fixed altitude, to a staggered, and thickened belt, at various altitudes covering metres or more, thereby forcing the Ju 87s to fly through fire for much longer.
The gunners spread their fire from side to side, to prevent German pilots from travelling down the side of the barrage and sliding in underneath it.
An attack by the Ju 87s sank the Latona 2, t with a direct hit—though the vessel could reach 40 knots. The destroyer Hero was badly damaged in the same attack.
In March, destroyers were withdrawn from the Inshore Squadron to escort convoys to Greece and in April, four more ships joined the squadron.
As the army retreated to Tobruk and the frontier, coastal operations were conducted on the nights of 10—11 April by gunboats, which bombarded transport on the Via Balbia around Bomba and Gambut airfield and on the night of 12 April, six destroyers and two cruisers made a coastal sweep from Ras Tayones to Ras et Tin.
Next day, three ships bombarded Sollum and on 15 April, transport was bombarded at Bardia and Capuzzo, as Gazala airfield was shelled again.
For the rest of April, naval bombardments continued along the Libyan coast on the Via Balbia, airfields and ports. A Commando raid was carried out on Bardia and supply runs began to Tobruk.
On arrival, one LCA could not be lowered and there were difficulties releasing the others. Once ashore the Commandos found that the port was empty of Axis forces and faulty intelligence led to some objectives being missed and others turning out not to exist.
The Commandos destroyed an Italian supply dump and a coastal artillery battery before re-embarking. Seventy men got lost, ended up on the wrong evacuation beach and were captured.
After the failure to capture Tobruk off the march, Comando Supremo and OKW agreed that Tobruk should be captured and supplies accumulated, before the advance into Egypt was resumed.
Rommel thought that Tobruk could only be taken by a deliberate attack, which could not begin until support units had arrived in the area and the Luftwaffe had been reinforced, particularly with transport aircraft to carry ammunition, fuel and water.
On 27 April, Major-General Friedrich Paulus a Deputy Chief of the General Staff, arrived from Oberkommando des Heeres OKH in Berlin, to question Rommel on his intentions, impress on him that there was little more help available and to forecast the defensive possibilities of the area, if Sollum was lost.
Paulus refused to allow an attack planned for 30 April, until he had studied the situation and on 29 April, allowed the attack to go ahead, as did Gariboldi who had arrived on 28 April.
Nothing more ambitious than securing the Axis hold on the Egyptian frontier, from Siwa Oasis north to Sollum was envisaged. The Tobruk garrison continued work on the defences and sowed minefields, the first being planted in the south-west, between the outer and inner perimeters.
The Axis attack was to be made in the south-west, either side of the hillock of Ras el Medauar, about two weeks after the previous attempt, using the 5th Light Division on the right and the 15th Panzer Division on the left, even though it had only recently arrived in Africa.
At p. German infantry would press forward to reconnoitre the vicinity of Fort Pilastrino, to see if the attack could continue to the harbour.
If not, the Italian infantry would dig in on the flanks and artillery would be moved forward for an attack the next day. The Australians expected an attack, after withstanding bombing and artillery-fire on the perimeter defences on 29 April; Axis troops seen massing in the evening of 30 April had been dispersed by artillery-fire.
The posts either side of Ras el Medauar were shelled and bombed and German troops began to dribble forward, under cover of dust and the gathering darkness.
By p. The night passed in confused fighting as the Germans tried to reorganise and mop up at Ras el Medauar and attack south-westwards along the perimeter.
The new attack failed and by morning, some of the Australian posts were still holding out. A thick mist rose and German tanks moved eastwards instead of south-east and then ran into the new minefield, where they were engaged by anti-tank guns and repulsed.
Tanks of the 15th Panzer Division, tried to drive north but were prevented by anti-tank fire. No German reserves were left and the most advanced troops were south of Wadi Giaida, tired and isolated in a sandstorm.
Paulus judged that the attack had failed and Rommel decided to attack on the right to widen the breach. In the afternoon, German tanks attacked south-east towards Bir el Medauar and Morshead sent 15 cruiser and five infantry tanks to counter-attack.
During the day, 73 and Squadrons had maintained standing patrols over the area and on the morning of 2 May, the fighting around Wadi Giaida continued in a dust storm, as German troops tried to trickle forward.
On the night of 3 May, the 18th Australian Brigade made a converging counter-attack with two battalions, which lost co-ordination, failed and was ended, to avoid being caught in the open at daybreak.
In a report on 12 May, Paulus wrote that sea communications between Italy and Libya should be reinforced, that any air and anti-aircraft units sent to Libya should be German and that the army in Libya needed ammunition, fuel and food first, then more vehicles before the dispatch of more men, of whom medium artillery and anti-tank gun crews should have priority.
The Tobruk garrison settled into a routine of patrols, air raids and minor attacks, some to regain positions in the Medauar salient and some in connexion with WDF operations.
The Twin Pimples was a defensive strong point outside Tobruk, on two hills close together which overlooked the Tobruk perimeter.
The Commandos advanced at p. At the supply road they took cover, waited until a. The password Jock was used when a position had been taken and the Italians were swiftly overcome.
The Australian engineers planted explosives on several mortars and an ammunition dump. Operation Brevity 15—16 May was a limited offensive to inflict attrition on the Axis forces and to secure positions for a general offensive towards Tobruk.
The Allies attacked with a small tank-infantry force in three columns and seized the top of the Halfaya Pass, Bir Wair and Musaid, then pressed on and took Fort Capuzzo.
The coast group failed to capture the bottom of the Halfaya Pass. The garrison on the east side of the Tobruk defences was strengthened in case of a sortie and a German counter-attack recovered Musaid.
The coast group eventually overran the foot of the pass; but, the next day, Allied retirements against German counter-attacks to a line from Sidi Omar to Sidi Suleiman and Sollum, left all but Halfaya Pass in German hands.
The Allies lost casualties, five tanks destroyed and 13 damaged. German casualties were men, three tanks destroyed and several damaged.
The Italians had casualties, of whom were captured. Operation Battleaxe, 15—17 June was intended to lift the siege of Tobruk and capture eastern Cyrenaica.
The attack was to be conducted by the 7th Armoured Division and a composite infantry force based on the 4th Indian Division headquarters, with two brigades.
The infantry were to attack in the area of Bardia, Sollum, Halfaya and Capuzzo, with the tanks guarding the southern flank. The Halfaya Pass attack failed, Point was captured and only one of three attacks on Hafid Ridge succeeded.
At the end of 15 June only 48 British tanks remained operational and next day, a German counter-attack forced back the Allies on the western flank but was repulsed in the centre; the Allies were reduced to 21 Cruiser tanks and 17 Infantry tanks.
On 17 June, the Allies evaded encirclement by two Panzer regiments and ended the operation. The Allies had casualties, 27 cruiser and 64 Infantry tanks were knocked out or broke down and lost; the RAF lost 36 aircraft.
German losses were men Italian losses are unknown , twelve tanks and ten aircraft. Blamey wrote that the health of the Australian division had deteriorated "to the point where it was not longer capable of resisting attack"; he also wanted to unite Australian forces in the Middle East.
Auchinleck agreed but noted that a troop movement this big could only be made by fast warships during moonless periods, to evade air attacks.
The Mediterranean Fleet was busy elsewhere, the Inshore Squadron was carrying supplies into Tobruk and Operation Crusader was being prepared.
The navy took out 5, men of the 18th Australian Infantry Brigade and the Indian 18th King Edward's Own Cavalry, on three destroyers, a minelayer and one destroyer carrying supplies, with cruiser escorts as anti-aircraft ships, a cruiser and a destroyer being damaged.
From 12—25 October, the rest of the 70th Infantry Division was delivered and most of the Australians removed. Command of the garrison passed from Morshead to Scobie.
It was planned that the 70th Infantry Division would break out from Tobruk on 21 December, to cut the German line of communication to the troops on the border to the south-east.
The 70th Infantry Division attack surprised Rommel, who had underestimated the size of the garrison and number of tanks in Tobruk.
A three pronged attack by the 2nd King's Own on the right flank, the 2nd Battalion, Black Watch in the centre and the 2nd Queen's Own on the left flank, advanced to capture a series of strong points leading to Ed Duda.
By mid afternoon, the Allies had advanced about 3. On 22 November, Scobie ordered the position to be consolidated and the corridor widened, ready for the Eighth Army.
On 26 November, Scobie ordered an attack on the Ed Duda ridge and in the early hours of 27 November, the Tobruk garrison captured the ridge and later met a small force of New Zealanders advancing from the south.
The 7th Armoured Division had planned its attack northwards to Tobruk for a. At a. The 7th Armoured Brigade and a battery of field artillery turned to meet this threat and without the tanks, the northward attack by the Support Group failed; by the end of the day, the 7th Armoured Brigade had only 40 of tanks operational.
The blow mostly fell on empty desert and gave the Eighth Army time to regroup and re-arm. At noon on 27 November, the 15th Panzer Division reached Bir el Chleta and met the 22nd Armoured Brigade reduced to a composite regiment of fewer than fifty tanks , which was joined later by the 4th Armoured Brigade.
As night fell the British tanks disengaged and the New Zealand Division, fighting at the south-east end of the corridor into Tobruk, was endangered by the Afrika Korps.
Rommel ordered a retirement from the eastern perimeter of Tobruk, to concentrate against XXX Corps to the south. Rommel was told on 5 December, by Comando Supremo that supply could not improve until the end of the month, when airborne deliveries from Sicily began.
Rommel decided to abandon Tobruk and withdraw to Gazala, which led to the relief of Tobruk and the occupation of Cyrenaica. For much of the siege, Tobruk was defended by the 9th Australian Division and other troops.
General Archibald Wavell , the Commander-in-Chief of Middle East Command ordered Morshead to defend the port for eight weeks; the Australians held on for over five months, before being gradually withdrawn during September and replaced by the 70th Infantry Division, the Polish Carpathian Brigade and Czechoslovak 11th Infantry Battalion East.
The Tobruk Ferry Service , made up of Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy warships, played an important role in the defence of Tobruk providing gunfire support, supplies, fresh troops and by ferrying out the wounded.
Control of Tobruk was useful to the Allies because it was the only significant port east of Benghazi and west of Alexandria.
The supply of Axis troops on the Egyptian frontier could have been eased by sea transport to Tobruk.
The siege of Tobruk was the first occasion in the war that German Panzer units had been stopped. Axis forces re-captured the port on 21 June , after defeating the Eighth Army in the Battle of Gazala.
Seven destroyers, a sloop, eleven anti-submarine and minesweeping vessels, three gunboats and a schooner were damaged, a total of 23 vessels.
Six Merchant Navy ships and a schooner were sunk and six merchant ships were damaged; a total of 62 ships were sunk or damaged. The Rats of Tobruk suffered at least 3, casualties, there being a small difference in Australian casualty figures quoted in the Australian and British official histories.
Most of the Australian garrison withdrew from Tobruk between August and October but others remained in Tobruk for the duration.
In the British Official History , Playfair calculated the losses in the table created by Harrison in Libyan losses were killed and German casualties for the same period were about killed, 1, wounded, about missing and from 74— Axis aircraft shot down.

Interestingly enough, the story itself was written by Leo Gordon and was so well conceived, it was used to enhance a nearly duplicate film called "Raid on Rommel" four years later.
As for this movie, it is so packed with inner conflicts between characters that often, it's hard to tell who they are at war with.
Nevertheless, the background world conflict is sufficient to view with admiration the soldiers who willingly gave so much for what they believed.
A superior action-oriented film and one which has become a Classic in its own right. Highly recommended.
