On the Eastern Front... Engaging in bitter street fighting with the Soviets, the Germans reach the harbor in Sevastopol.

In North Africa... Rommel’s assault on Tobruk begins. His plan is to attack in the southeast with the German 15th Panzer, 21st Panzer Divisions and the Italian Ariete Division and drive through to the harbor. General Kesselring has sent all available bomber support from the Mediterranean. The attack begins with the bombing campaign in the morning and by early evening, German forces have reached the harbor.
