Wiki has an unusually good article on Operation Sonnenblume
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sonnenblume, very detailed and from what I've read from in other sources quite accurate.
What I want to know is given the resources at Cyrcom disposal, not what went to Greece or anything, could Cyrcom have done much better than OTL?
Just as a reminder of what was deployed forward of Tobruk:
- 2nd Armoured division
- 3 AB - 1 regt light tanks, 1 regt cruiser tanks, 1 regt of Italian M13/40
- 2 SG - 1 mot inf btn, 1 artillery regt, 1 AT regt , 1 MG coy
- 3rd Indian Motor Brigade (chopped to 2nd AD in April) - 3 mot inf btns
