Overview:
Rommel's attack on the Gazala line had caught the British 4th Armoured Brigade by surprise. Initially leaguered east of Bir Hacheim, the Brigade's three regiments were slow in shaking out of their night "coils" and moving to their prepared battle positions. The 8th Hussars paid the price for their lethargy, and were engaged by nearly the entire Panzer Division 15. Their heavily armed and amoured American-built Grant tanks inflicted heavy losses on the advancing Germans but their sheer numbers nearly wiped out the British force. The Hussars withdrew, leaving Panzer Division 15 to continue its movement northward on a collision course with the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment.Attacker: German (Panzer Regiment 8., Panzer Division 15)
Defender: British (A, B, and C Squadrons, 3rd Battalion the Royal Tank Regiment, 4th Armoured Brigade)
