I thought the the siege of Tobruk was lifted in December, 1941. Was this a second attempt by the Nazis?

Yes, this is Rommel's second offensive. Things will move a little more quickly this time around.

Yep. And I believe Rommel will get 33,000 prisoners, a mountain of supplies, and a Field Marshal’s baton out of it. Just guessin’.
