Ellerman's campaign documents
With the gradual recovery of malta island's naval and air combat effectiveness, the allied air force in this theater has been continuously strengthened, the German and Italian forces have been continuously weakened, and the shipping losses of the Axis countries have risen sharply, with the loss rate reaching 44% in June+10/October in 5438. The 32,000 tons of materials shipped to Rommel only arrived at 20,000 tons; Oil, which is vital to Rommel's army, was loaded on board with 6,543,800 tons. But only 4000 tons reached North Africa. The German-Italian African Army was in a dilemma of running out of ammunition and oil, while the British Eighth Army was provided with sufficient troops, equipment and materials. In the case of disparity in strength between the two armies, the British army launched the aleman campaign against German and Italian troops in North Africa.
