World War Two S00 E610 North Africa Episode 8: The Forgotten Battle of Mersa El Brega

Overview

Cemetery Hill falls under bombardment, counterattacks stall, and a northern flank probe finally forces a retreat: Rommel’s first major victory in the desert, bought against strong ground and stubborn infantry.
