Tobruk has been taken and the British 8th Army has withdrawn back to Egypt. The British have 
established a new line of defense at Mersa Matruh. This heavily fortified line consists 
of well entrenched infantry protected with mines. As we cannot afford severe losses, it has 
been decided that we will sweep around the flank of the British lines. Both the 15th Panzer
and Italian Ariete Armored have been committed to the assault. You are to lead the panzer 
forces for the sweep and hit the rear of the British lines. Latest reports indicate that 
only the New Zealand infantry division is in the area, so it should be easy for you
to overrun them.
