In North Africa... Disaster continues for the Afrika Korps, the British 7th Armored Division catches and destroys the remainder of 21st Panzer Division which is stranded, out of fuel. The British pursuit does not proceed as quickly as it should because of the problems getting fuel through from
Ek Alamein. German minefields and booby traps delay them. A heavy rainfall late in the day makes the coastal road the only viable route of advance. |
