In this powerful image, we witness the Union Jack being raised over Tobruk on November 18th, 1942. This iconic flag symbolizes not only British strength but also represents the unity and determination of all Allied forces involved in the North Africa Campaign. As Axis forces relentlessly advanced through Cyrenaica from El Agheila in Operation Sonnenblume, they sought to conquer Tobruk's strategic position. However, against all odds, Allied troops valiantly defended this vital stronghold throughout those grueling months.
