- Q625798 abstract "The Western Desert Campaign or the Desert War, took place in the Western Desert of Egypt and Libya and was a theatre in the North African Campaign during the Second World War. The campaign began in September 1940, with the Italian invasion of Egypt. The Italians halted to bring up supplies, and Operation Compass, a British five-day raid in December 1940, led to the destruction of the Italian 10th Army. Benito Mussolini sought help from Hitler and a small German blocking detachment (Sperrverband) was sent to Tripoli under Directive 22 (11 January), being the first units of the Afrika Korps (Generalleutnant Erwin Rommel), under nominal Italian command but Italian dependency on Nazi Germany made it the dominant partner.In the Spring of 1941 Axis forces under Rommel pushed the British-led allied forces back and reached Tobruk which was besieged. The allied force there held out and were relieved during Operation Crusader, who then pushed the Axis forces back to where they had started by the end of the year. In 1942 Axis forces drove the Allies back capturing Tobruk but failed to gain a decisive victory. On the final Axis push to Egypt the Allies retreated to El Alamein, where at the Second Battle of El Alamein the Eighth Army defeated the Axis forces, which never recovered and were driven out of Libya to Tunisia, where they were defeated in the Tunisia Campaign. After the British defeats in the Balkan Campaign, the Western Desert Campaign had become more important to British strategy. For Adolf Hitler the Eastern Front dwarfed the desert war, which was a holding action of secondary importance. The Axis never had sufficient resources or the means to deliver them to defeat the British, who in their turn missed several opportunities to finish the campaign, by diverting resources to Greece and the Levant in 1941 and the Far East in 1942.".
