[edit] Operation Skorpion

"If Rommel permitted his opponents to hold the high ground at Halfaya, his forces outside Tobruk would be left vulnerable to attack from the rear. Equally important, Halfaya represented the principal passage fo armor in either direction across the 500-foot-high escarpment separating the Egyption coastal plain and Libya's desert plateau. Thus, in typical fashion, on the night of May 26, Rommel again sent Colonol Hans Cramer's 8th Panzer Regiment and its support elements in a deep loop around the pass and attacked from the southwest, while a battalion of the 104th Infantry Regiment staged a frontal assault from the northeast. The foot soldiers, under the inspiring command of Captain Wilhelm Bach, a fifty-year-old Evangelical minister from Mannheim, charged up the serpentine road and engaged the defedenders in hand-to-hand combat. A few hours later, the reached the top of the pass and linked up with the panzers thrusting from the opposite direction." --Afrikakorps, Time-Life books, Pg. 41
