Siege of Tobruk - 1941 (WW2, WWII, World War 2 History, War in Africa, North Africa)

Under siege, the defenders had to adjust to life in stifling heat, under constant artillery and air bombardment. Supplies of food and water decreased, and the troops were plagued by flies, fleas and illness. Tobruk was hell on earth. The place you didn’t want to be as a soldier.
