Overview:
Tobruk was held by 25,000 men, including General della Mura's 61st Sirte Division, 45 light and 20 medium machine-guns, 200 guns, and ringed with anti-tank ditches, as well as two forts, Solaro and Pilastrino. O'Connor kept his Aussies moving forward in the face of supply shortfalls, worn out vehicles, and the need to use captured Italian tanks painted with the leaping kangaroo symbol. O'Connor planned to hit Tobruk from the town's southeast corner and the assault jumped off on 21 January, delayed three days by dust storms. Italian posts began to fall, and the Australian drive picked up steam while the defenses collapsed under accurate Australian artillery fire.Attacker: Australian (19th Australian Infantry Brigade)
Defender: Italian (61st Sirte Division)
