Fall of Tobruk

The Fall of Tobruk occurred during World War II, prior to March 1941 (PROSE: Just War) at Tobruk in North Africa. (AUDIO: Earthfall)

According to Bernice Summerfield's diary, in the chronology of the war, it was preceded by the invasion of Romania some time earlier, and was followed by a British and German confrontation in Greece that April. (PROSE: Just War)

Tobruk changed hands three times in the course of the war: Given that Just War is set in early March 1941, the mention of the Fall of Tobruk most likely refers to the initial British capture. However, the name "Fall of Tobruk" more commonly refers to the Axis recapture.
