- Description:
- The British soldiers at Tobruk lack the speed, anger, virility, and toughness of the German soldiers, leading to their defeat. The British soldiers need a clearer understanding of why they are fighting, better training in killing effectively, and a more practical approach to warfare. The British commanders are trained as traditional soldiers, but modern war requires a scientific approach. The British soldiers also lack clear propaganda and support from the British Broadcasting Co. to keep their morale up.
