British troops refused to break, grinding down the German-Italian offensive in Egypt. Their defiance did more than just slow the Axis advance—it kept them from launching a full-scale assault on Malta, the island fortress that stood between Hitler and total control of the Mediterranean.

Tobruk. April 10 - December 7, 1941.
Axis Forces: Unknown, Possibly ~ 35,000 Troops.
