Interesting. The British communique has Rommel at Tobruk and west of Tobruk at Gazala. Everybody else, including reality, has the DAK at Tobruk, and at the Egyptian border-at least 70 miles east of Tobruk. Still no mention of Rommel by name. By anyone.

As Cougar pointed out yesterday, on April 10 the German High Command issued a bulletin that mentioned Erwin Rommel commanded a division in Libya.
Aside from that single sentence from the 10th of April, Rommel is completely non-existent. I’m trying to remember now, was he mentioned in the reports on the capture of the 51st Highlander Division last June? I might have to go look into that.
