Just been reading up on the North African Campaign and realised that Rommel wasted a lot of time at Tobruk without realising the weaknesses in the South East quarter, especially as they were overlooked from outside by the hills of Bel Hamed and Sidi Rezegh. I was just wondering if maybe Rommel could have taken the place in 1941 if he'd noticed that and attacked via that route, rather than trying a second time at Ras el Madauar, and if so, what that would have done for the rest of the campaign.
