From May to June 1942, the fighting was really hot in the North African desert as Rommel's Afrika Korps and his Italian allies swept around and defeated an incompetent British commander's simple strategies. This battle was so lopsided that it showed Rommel at his best and the British at their worst. Even though the Axis armies were outnumbered, many Allied tanks were destroyed, Tobruk taken, Allied supplies lost and the British were pushed off the field of battle in a humiliating defeat that Churchill agonized over for a long time. The British were in danger of losing Egypt. Watch this exciting video and find out so much more!
