You're Top Poster: #3   | AfrikaKorps Website AFRIKAKORPS: 400+ Pages & 25,000+ Photographs/Illlustrations/Movies Reference Website This site has been put up as the be all to end all however whatever the claims there is few things missing. While it is supposed to be an across the board look at North Africa, some things do not seem to get a mention. (That I can see after quite alot of looking). No detail that I can see. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place! Tobruk Tobruk - Battles of. April to November 1942 General Sir Leslie Morshead New Zealanders Australian 9th Division and other Tobruk Garrison Troops

You're Top Poster: #3 | I know Tobruk was a thorn in their side and the reason they did not succeed in gaining the Suez however they surely can't think to call themselves historians. They said they do mention an Australian medical man...........big deal!
