In 1940,the Italians invaded Egypt from Libya,however their biggest mistake was that they stopped at Sidi Barrini.The British commander,General Richard O'Connor seized the opportunity to launch a major offensive against the Italians.They were outnumbered by 3 to 1,however due to their training and the use of updated weapons and tatics,the British 8th Army were able to push the Italians out of Egypt,into Libya and stopped at Mersa Mertruh.The Italian dictator asked Hitler for help and he sent General Erwin Rommel along with the 15th and the 21st panzer division to Tripoli to help the Italians in North Africa.After landing in the capital and inspecting the troops,he ordered an immediate attack on the British lines.The British were thrown back with heavy losses,all the way to the Egyptian border.The only port city that did not fall to the famed "Desert Fox" and his Afrika Korps was the port city of Tobruk. Tobruk was garrisoned by British-Australian-New Zealanders-South Africans-Poles.They sent out recon parties to gather information / snatch a prisoner/destroy fuel& ammo depots.For this , the enemy called them the "Desert Rats", a name that stuck with them until the end 1943, when the axis control of north Africa came to an end.

∙ 15y agoThe Allies defeated the German and Italians by the US forces driving from the West and the British driving from the East and they met at Tunisia. The German surrendered about 200,000 men. North Africa became a base for operations for amphibious landings in Sicily and mainland Italy and for air bombing missions into Germany and Italy.
