| From 'Tank War' by Janusz Piekalkiewicz
Sunday 25 January 1942 Quote: Winston Churchill to General Auchinleck
I am much disturbed by the report from the Eighth Army, which speaks of evacuation of Bengazi and Derna. I had certainly never been led to suppose that such a situation could arise. . . . Has our fresh armour been unable to compete with the resuscitated German tanks? It seems to me this is a serious crisis, and one to me quite unexpected. Why should they (i.e. our tanks) all be off so quickly?
