British Take 5 Months to Revenge Tobruk Disaster
Glenn Boob reports that after Tobruk fell to Rommel on June 22, the British Eighth Army rebuilt and, with fresh units and US support, won a decisive turnaround in North Africa. Churchill noted American aid aided victory as US tanks and guns joined the desert effort while Rommel retreated toward Libya. The piece frames Tobruk as the final of three great wartime disasters, now avenged, with Dunkirk and Singapore preceding it.
