Introduction
|
|
Relatively fresh compared to the New Zealand troops who'd seen such heavy action during Operation Crusader, the Poles now spearheaded the division's assault on the Axis Gazala position. While the Maoris continued to attack to the northwest against the Pavia Division, suffering heavy casualties, the Poles turned to the west to strike positions of the Trento Motorized Division. The Allies hoped to separate the Axis mobile forces from the Italian infantry divisions, and force the infantry back against the sea.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
The Poles drove steadily westward along the Gabr-er-Reghem ridge line; the Italians gave ground but did not break, maintaining the Gazala line. However, the capture of three miles gave the Poles a deep salient into the Axis positions, threatening the flanks of the Pavia Division to the north and the Trieste Division to the south.

Additional Notes

|
White Eagles INF and Cassino RIF are functionally interchangeable. Polish leaders are drawn from Cassino. |
