LIBYA:
Allies Meet
RonlmeL's Drive

From Cairo came the first reports
of the opening of new offensive
by the Nazis across the sands OF
Libya in a drive for Egypt, then
Iraq and the rear gate to the
Caucasus.
It was Field Marshal Erwin ROM
mel who was leading the German
tank forces against the British In
this hot desert campaign. But ROM
mel's rush met not only the British.
1t met the full power of American
made tanks.
And with these tanks, Lieut.. Gen.
Neil M. Ritchie's British troops
turned the first spearhead of the
Nazis and the terrific engagement
of armored forces began once more.
The fury of the battle was de-
scribed as so fierce that decision
in the Tobruk area would not be
long in coming, for one side or the
other would be forced soon to yield.
