English Open 2nd Front in Libya

Map shows how the British split the Axis armies in Libya - late in November - creating a second front

against Germany. This action was followed shortly by the amazing sue-

cesses of the Russians in driving Hitler's forces back from Moscow.

Map of the Libyan front: Arrows are pointing from the origin of Sidi Omar in Egypt towards Ft. Capuzzo in Salum, towards Bardia, Sidi Azeizo, Sidi Omar Nuovo, Gambut, Bir El Gobi, Rezegh, and Tobruk. Tobruk is circled. Above it there is a label, "Mediterranean."
