Ok, German plan, right? this needs to be clearer.
Whats and I tank? Infantry tank? Clarify that too.
After the re-capture of Halfaya Pass, the mainly German troops in the area, fortified the frontier positions, the Gazala Line and Tobruk. Halfaya, Qalala, Point 206 and Point 208 were prepared for all-round defence and camouflaged. What does this mean? Perhaps it's just a misplaced comma?
"mainly German troops...." as compared to a mix of Germans and Italians? Not sure what this means. Let me know when you've dealt w/ this and I'll reeval. auntieruth (talk) 19:51, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amended, I've very few sources for this so offered it for review as part of the backlog drive, rather than leaving it to stand over on the off chance, same with Sonnenblume. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 20:09, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
