Historical Background:
On the 26th of May 1942, Rommel begun Operation Venice (Unternehmen Venezia), to bypass by the south the Gazala line with his army composed by the Deutsche Afrika Korps and the XXe Corpo italiano. In the morning of the 27th of May, the Brigadier General Filose, commander of the 3rd Indian Motor Brigade, just settled at point 171 (at 10 km south of Bir Hakeim), sent a message to General Messervy that he is facing to "a whole bloody German armored division". In fact, it was the Italian armored division Ariete which discovered too the presence of the Indian Brigade "box". After one hour of fierce fighting, the 3rd Indian motor brigade was partly destroyed. Only some hundred of Indian soldiers with Brigadier General Filose could escape in the desert while Italian tanks continued their way to the north and incidentally to the Free french "box" at Bir Hakeim.
