Sidi Rezegh, 21 November: The 7th Armoured Brigade captured the Axis airfield at Sidi Rezegh late in the day, on 19 November, but even with the assistance of the 7th Support Group, had been unable, on 20 November, to evict the German infantry holding the lip of the escarpment. This meant that the Germans held the entire British force under observation and could thus utilize their heavy artillery, assembled for the attack on Tobruk, to good effect. Orders were issued for 21 November to not only take the edge of the escarpment, but to press on to el Duda, and link up with the break-out of the Tobruk garrison. But the panzers were still on the loose, the 4th and 22nd Brigades had not defeated them, as the British believed, and they were on their way to Sidi Rezegh.
