DEFENSE OF THE RED LINE

On the 14th of April 1941, Rommel was
attacking the Australian garrison at
Tobruk with the 5th Panzer Regiment at
dawn.  As the men of the 2-17th Infantry
Bn. and the 1st R.T.R. fought a bitter
battle in the "Red Line" defense zone,
overhead the 14 ready alert Hurricanes
scrambled to stop inbound Stukas escorted
by Italian fighters.  The Hurricanes
brought down four planes while losing one
of their own.

MISSION

Escort the Stukas to their target and do
not allow the ready alert Hurricanes to
stop their attack, which is critical to
the success of the 5th Panzer Regiment
attack.

NOTES

This is a day mission.
