- Siege_of_Tobruk abstract "The Siege of Tobruk was a confrontation that lasted for 241 days between Axis and Allied forces in North Africa during the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War. The siege started on 10 April 1941, when Tobruk was attacked by an Italo–German force under Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel, and continued for 240 days up to 27 November 1941, when it was relieved by the Allied 8th Army during Operation Crusader.It was vital for the Allies' defence of Egypt and the Suez Canal to hold the town with its harbour, as this forced the enemy to bring most of their supplies overland from the port of Tripoli, across 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) of desert, as well as diverting troops from their advance. Tobruk was subject to repeated ground assaults and almost constant shelling and bombing. The Nazi propaganda called the tenacious defenders "rats", a term that the Australian soldiers embraced as an ironic compliment.".
- Siege_of_Tobruk causalties "At least 3,836 casualtiesref|There is a small difference in Australian casualty figures quoted in the Australian and British official histories. It should be noted while most of the Australian garrison withdrew from Tobruk between August and October, Australians remained in Tobruk until the siege was lifted. The Australian Official history, while including a period of two days before the siege started, states that the 9th Division's casualties from 8 April to 25 October amounted to 746 killed, 1,996 wounded, and 604 taken prisoner. An appendix in the Australian official history states that 507 Australians were captured between 28 March 1941 and the investment of Tobruk and 467 were captured during the actual siege. I.S.O Playfair, the British Official historian of the fighting in the Middle East during the Second World War, states from between the start of the siege to October, Allied losses amounted to 3,836. He breaks this figure down as follows: Australia: 744 killed, 1,974 wounded, and 476 missing; Britain: 88 killed, 406 wounded, and 15 missing; British India: 1 killed, and 25 wounded; Poland: 22 killed, 82 wounded, and 3 missing.|group=nb".
