B&W
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and his German troops arrive in Tobruk, Libya. Fallen tanks, guns, and Nazi planes are seen half buried in the sand and partially on fire. British General Montgomery and his troops drive through flooded roads to reach Matruh Harbor. The harbor is full of wrecked axis supply ships and Nazi Seaplanes. Nazis are captured and taken in trucks to prison camps. The captives, including head Nazi officers, willingly walk into the camp. The next newsreel covers a rodeo. Cowboys are violently thrown off their bulls as a crowd cheers.
