Beda Littoria: objective Rommel

[Diagram by types of ship]

Start: Monday November 17, 1941

Ending: Tuesday November 18, 1941

The most famous of the commando raid of the "Layforce" in North Africa. The objective was to behead the Afrikakorps on the eve of the decisive "Crusader" offensive. A commando, landing on the Libyan coast, had to rally the "Rommel's House" in Beda Littoria and kill him.
Although the British reached the house and attacked it, Rommel himself was not there. The intelligence was false and it was not his headquarter. The losses were heavy on both side and only two men could go back in Egypt ... on foot.
