Surrender and Shock closes the season with Tobruk’s surrender on June 21, 1942, the capture of tens of thousands of prisoners, the loss of major stores, and the political shock that reached from Libya to London. The episode explains why Gazala became Rommel’s greatest desert victory and why Tobruk’s fall opened the road into Egypt. It ends by looking toward El Alamein, where the British would have to stop Rommel before the desert war became a disaster beyond recovery. Produced by Trackpads.com.
