0527_03: First Try for the "Dogs Well" - PzC 11 El Alamein '42

SE of Bir Hacheim, May 27th 1942: As the Africa Korps rounded the bend and cut in behind the British, not everything went according to plan. The Italian Ariete Division was assigned the mission to capture Bar Hacheim, (Dog's Well) from the 1st Free French Brigade, an opponent that Rommel and the Italians regarded as a rebel unit made up of Jews and Legionnaires......they were in for a big surprise!
