Thanks Plan D
What is your opinion, if, in 1941, the defence of tobruk had failed, and the port had been captured. Would Rommel with his two depleted divisions, plus a gaggle Italian formations (all pretty badly worn already) have been able to bounce the remaining defences in Egypt???? We would need to know with some accuracy what the british forces in the theatre actually were. There were quite a few semi trained formations training in the Delta at the time, so I am a bit hard pressed to predict what might have happened
