Operational Overview Welcome to the Operation Crusader to Gazala Campaign. This campaign will span the historical dates from the beginning of Operation Crusader (18 Nov. 1941) to the closing dates of the Battles for Gazala (21 June 1942).
Operation Crusader saw the mighty Eighth Army relieve the besieged port of Tobruk, preventing Rommel from gaining an important link in his over-extended supply lines.
During the Battles for Gazala, Rommel and Panzerarmee Afrika turned the Eight Army out of a strongly defended line, opening the way to a quick capture of Tobruk.
This campaign will celebrate the men and machinery of this important part of WWII history.
