From 'Tank War' by Janusz Piekalkiewicz Quote: |
On Sunday 15th December (1940), the British took (part) in a surprise raid (on) the Halfaya Pass on the Libyan-Egyptian border. British tanks now had a clear path to the interior of Cyrenaica. The remnants of the Italian Tenth Army withdrew to the fortress of Bardia. The Italians now reinforced the defences of Tobruk and the El Mekili-Derna line, where they stationed three divisions which they had summoned from the interior.
