Tobruk

In April 1941 14,000 Australian troops stationed in Tobruk, Libya were awaiting reinforcements and supplies which never arrived. Eight months later, these gallant, heroic troops were finally rescued after enduring the onslaught of unending, crippling attacks from Rommel's Afrika Corps. The 'Rats of Tobruk' are remembered here through archival footage, introduced by author Paul Fitzsimons.
