Fall of Tobruk Amid Desert Siege and Heat
A World War II report describes Tobruk’s fall after two days of desert fighting and a week of bad luck. British forces tried to engage Axis troops but hit an anti tank trap in a dust storm on June 13. The Axis finally sealed Tobruk five days later under 120 degree heat as defenders fought hand to hand before retreating. The RAF bombed German and Italian positions while supply lines clung to a strained water supply after an earlier water tower attack.
