Rommel’s “dash to the wire” almost succeeded in bluffing the Brits out of a victory. That’s when the Auk flushed Cunningham, and Rommel had to retreat. But Cruwell had done much to minimize British success in the battles around Sidi Rezegh airfield. the Brits still had no concept of either combined arms, or armored operations.And the authors have omitted the contribution of the Aussies who attacked out of Tobruk in consonance with the 8th Army offensive.
