Historical Background:
The Operation Battleaxe was launched on the 15th of June 1941 in order to capture the Axis defenses on the Libyan border (such as Sollum, Halfaya Pass, Fort Capuzzo), to destroy Rommel' army and if possible to relieve the besieged garrison of Tobruk. The British attack was quickly stopped by the 88mm guns in Halfaya Pass and Hafid Ridge. In the center, the 4th British Armored Brigade captured Fort Capuzzo. A single German 88mm gun opened fire on the British tanks and allowed to the Panzer Regiment 8 to arrive on the battlefield. German Captain Johannes Kümmel, fought bravely and destroyed several Matilda tanks with his own Pz-IV, and finally stopped the British advance to Bardia. After this action , he was awarded of the Knight's cross and nicknamed "the lion of Capuzzo".
