Up in "The Blue" - west of the Gazala Line, January 17th 1942: After the second British victory in North Africa, Operation "Crusader" around Tobruk in 1941, Panzerarmee Afrika was forced to retire to the Mersa el Brega position, having given up the Cyrenaica. But the pendulum of battle was about to swing once more, and with the fiery breath of a Khamsin wind, Rommel was on the move again determined to take Tobruk. Meanwhile, the British 8th Army, led by General Ritchie, was thinly strung across the Cyrenaica. Ritchie was preoccupied with Axis units trapped in his rear when Rommel struck. What followed was a series of small scale running gun battles "Up in the Blue" - the soldiers' name for the open desert - as units scurried back toward the safety of the Gazala Line.
