Historical Background
On June 20, Rommel launched the final attack against Tobruk, using the same plan as the year before. After heavy bombing and an
artillery barrage, the assault was launched at 0630. In the attack sector of the 21.Panzer Division, the Pionier Bataillon 200 opened
pathways in the British minefield and filled in the anti-tank ditch. This allowed the German tanks and motorized infantry to break
through the perimeter while the 88mm guns fired on the bunkers defended by Indian soldiers of 2/5 Mahratta battalion. At 1000 hours,
the resistance of the Indian battalion was over and the German tanks could advance towards "King's Cross". Nothing could stop the fall
of Tobruk.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
