Abstract:

Need to OK, as in history happens! At the moment when I write these lines, all the media feature the same geographical names as in the volume on the desktop on the history of world war II. Namely: 70 years ago, the commander of the African corps, Hitler´s General Erwin Rommel, who had just arrived on the Black continent, launched an offensive in Libya and on 4 April 1941 his units entered the city of Benghazi. British troops retreated to the fortress of Tobruk on the Mediterranean coast. On the military horizon of world war II rose a new star – "Fox of the desert" Rommel, which Hitler a special telegram from April 3 provided complete freedom of action.
