Sauron1 writes; The Italian Army had a bad rap in W.W.II, but the English
8th Army had a healthy respect for their Mountain units. When the British
conquered Tobrok ( for the first time ) their armor past through an
artillery position. The Italian gunners stayed with their guns and fired at
the British tanks point blank as they drove through, destroying six right
away. The British tanks were separated from their infantry support and had
to eather run over or machine gun the crews to survive.The 8th Army armor
always avoided them for the rest of the campaign. sauron1
