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.

Thanks. And thanks for all your interesting posts on the subject.

I just looked up Romme’ls second offensive. I never read much about the war in North Africa. Reading about it now I started thinking: imagine what it was like fighting in a tank, in the desert, in the summer. Must have been hell.
