British lose armor in battle
Friday, June 12, 1942 www.onwar.com

In North Africa... The British Guards Brigade is heavily attacked by Rommel’s forces. The British counterattacks are ineffectual. One hundred British tanks are lost in the actions, leaving only 70 tanks operational. Rommel’s forces have twice that number and withdrawal of the British forces is inevitable. The Germans are recovering many of their own damaged tanks, repairing them and putting them back into service.

Great articles.

By inserting the words “In Europe,” Russia limited her commitment so that she is not bound to lift a finger against the other enemy of Britain and the United States, Japan, except in the unlikely event that here armies or navy should enter this war-torn Continent. This limitation is cheerfully accepted here, for it is felt that the Russians have their hands full already.

Did not Russia and Japan have a non aggression pack in place? Who was zooming who here?
