War Interpreting a War By RIRKET SIMPSON
Wide World War Analyst notes that the renewed Axis attack in Libya targets Tobruk as Rommel s immediate objective. Across the Atlantic military opinion calls Tobruk the key point of the fifth Libyan campaign though even if Tobruk falls Hitler may not press an immediate invasion of Egypt. A spearhead’s advance to within 18 miles of Tobruk supports the view that Rommel is pursuing limited aims amid difficult logistics.
