- Battle_of_Point_175 abstract "The Battle of Point 175 was a military engagement that took place during Operation Crusader between 29 November – 1 December 1941 during the Second World War. Point 175 is a small rise just south of the Trigh Capuzzo, a desert track east of Sidi Rezegh and south of Zaafran, with a good view of the vicinity. In early November 1941, the feature was held by German infantry of the Division z.b.V. Afrika (later named the 90th Light Afrika Division). Troops of the 2nd New Zealand Division and Infantry tanks of the 1st Army Tank Brigade attacked and captured Point 175 on 23 November, during the Battle of Sidi Rezegh, which was part of Operation Crusader, in the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War. The New Zealand troops then attacked westwards and made contact with the Tobruk garrison, which had broken out to meet them. From 29 November – 1 December, the New Zealanders defended the point and the area to the west against Axis counter-attacks, which were intended to sever the link with the Tobruk garrison and regain control of the roads in the area. The new 132nd Armoured Division Ariete re-captured Point 175 late on 29 November.The defenders mistook the Italian tanks for South African reinforcements led by armoured cars and let them approach unchallenged; 167 men of the 21st New Zealand Battalion were taken prisoner (the Italians apparently being just as surprised, to find the area not occupied by Axis troops). The 6th New Zealand Brigade of the 2nd New Zealand Division was almost destroyed in the fighting around Point 175 and eventually its remnants retreated to Zaafran. The division then returned to Egypt to refit, having suffered 4,620 casualties in the fighting. When the division reassembled, it was sent to Syria to recuperate and then almost returned to Asia to participate in the war in the Far East, which had begun with the Japanese Invasion of Malaya on 7/8 December 1941.".
