Historical Background:
On the 30th of June 1942, the victorious but exhausted Axis units arrived in front of El Alamein, the last British line before Alexandria. In order to weaken Rommel troops, General Auchinleck ordered to attack the Italian Infantry divisions. In the early morning of the 10th July, the 26th Australian Brigade, supported by the "Valentine" tanks of the 44th RTR, infiltrated along the Mediterranean coast and attacked on the flank of the Sabratha Division entrenched around Tell el Eisa ridge. The Italian division broke up and lost several Artillery batteries and two regimental HQ. After that battle, the Sabratha Division had no more military value. But for Rommel, the main loss was the destruction of his interception radio unit which allowed him until this time to know the orders and decisions of the British Command during the battles.
