The Siege of Tobruk was a significant military engagement during World War II, occurring from April 10 to December 27, 1941. Located in Libya, the port city of Tobruk was surrounded by Axis forces, primarily composed of German and Italian troops. The Allied forces, mainly consisting of Australian and British soldiers, defended the city against repeated attacks, showcasing resilience and strategic defense. Despite being cut off from reinforcements and supplies, the defenders of Tobruk held out for over eight months. The siege became a symbol of Allied determination, and its eventual lifting marked a turning point in the North African campaign, contributing to the eventual defeat of Axis forces in the region.
