Germany’s first land loss in WW2; Tobruk & the Australians in Africa

This was my very first video I made at 15. In terms of editing, I can appreciate that it’s not Hollywood standards, but feedback is appreciated! 2011 marked the 70th anniversary of Australia’s first major battles of the Second World War. These actions and campaigns were fought in the Middle East and the Mediterranean where the three Australian services were continuously in action throughout 1941. The second year of the war had begun with a series of impressive British and Commonwealth successes against the Italians in Libya. Australian troops led the advance. But a rapid German offensive quickly reversed these early victories. All that stopped the Germans’ march on Egypt was the defiant garrison at Tobruk.
