| British penetrate into Libya
From 'Tank War' by Janusz Piekalkiewicz Quote:
Friday 13th December 1940, Cairo
The Headquarters of General Wavell (The British Middle East Commander) announced:
Operations in the direction of Sollum (Libya) are proceding as planned and we are winning rapid victories. British motorised troops have encircled and disarmed sizeable Italian units in the Bukbuk area (Egypt, close to Libyan border).

On Friday 13th December 1940, Hitler signed Directive 20, a plan for Operation Marita, the German attack on Greece. It provided for Field Marshall List's powerful Twelfth Army to attack from Bulgaria and occupy the Greek Aegean coast.
