Introduction |
---|
After much preparation, the long-anticipated Axis assault on Tobruk began. The right-hand assault was the responsibility of the Kirchheim battlegroup. After a day of dive-bombing and barraging, which caused few casualties, the infantry and engineers closed on the wire and minefields outside the Australian positions. |
Conclusion |
---|
The barrage disrupted all telephone communication with the forward posts and delayed the dispatch of a counterattack force. At first light the German tank-infantry assault teams attacked several posts. By the time the Australian commanders even understood the situation, four posts (RO, Rl, R2 and R4) on the right flank had been taken and another invested. |
