This is terrible! After all the casualties at Tobruk, we give everything up! Option 2. We MUST get the brits on the back foot and hit them until they fall. Ariete has done a great job and should be exposed as an example for the other italian divs to follow.
Form that special desert ops group and study the possibility of getting into the british flank and cutting off their forward positions that we would then hit with our full force.
Rommel is right. If we don't get Tobruk before June, we're screwed. The oilfields must be reached by december, and Alexandria, Suez, Jerusalem, etc are still ahead. We must clear the Jerusalem line before October, otherwise this whole operation is useless...
