Overview:
On the second day of the assault towards Tobruk, Rommel ordered General Baldassarre’s XX Mobile Corps to advance and make contact with the Free French at Bir Hakeim. The Ariete Division on the extreme left of the formation ran into a significant Allied unit, Brigadier General Anthony Filose’s 3rd Indian Motor Brigade. The Indian Brigade had been directed to occupy a defensive position on Point 171. By dawn they had established a hasty perimeter but had not been able to lay mines or dig trenches. Even worse, half of their anti-tank guns had not yet arrived.Attacker: Italian (X° Battaglione Carri M, and VIII° Reggimento Bersaglieri , 132 Divisione Corazzata 'Ariete')
Defender: British (Indian) (3rd Indian Motor Brigade with Brigade AT Coy, and 2nd Field Regiment, Indian Artillery, XXX Corps)
