1
It's the morning of May 27th 1942 and 200 tanks and 10,000 support vehicles find themselves under fire in the Libyan desert.
2
German General Erwin Rommel has assembled this massive armoured fist
3
which is racing forward trying to outflank the British Army's defensive line at Ghazala.
4
The radio crackles with situation reports as the leading vehicles of his 15th Panzer Division start firing back at the British.
5
In a Panzer III, Hauptmann Johannes Kummel leads the fight back
6
and quickly manages to identify the enemy vehicles as M3 Stuart light tanks.
7
At this range, their 37mm guns aren't accurate and can't penetrate the Panzer III's armor.
8
Kummel barks orders into his throat microphone and the battalion quickly arranges itself into attack formation.
9
Half of his unit halts and lets off a barrage of shells from their 50mm guns
10
As the shells streak towards the enemy, the other half of the battalion roars forward across the sand.
11
Then they switch roles, firing again and advancing forward.
12
Just like the British, the German fire is still inaccurate, but the panzers are rapidly closing the distance while the British tanks are stuck in place.
13
Soon Kamel's battalion is within effective range of the enemy and his gunner lines up a Stuart tank in his sights.
14
The loader shoves the 50mm round into the tank's breach and calls up to Kummel.
15
Kummel gives the firing command and the gunner pulls the trigger to fire the main cannon.
16
The shell slices through the desert air before smashing straight into a Stuart tank and cooks off the ammunition,
17
sending the small tank exploding in a roaring fireball.
18
Over on the British side, Lieutenant Bill Close is fighting against the overwhelming German force.
19
All around him, Stuart tanks are being knocked out by enemy fire.
20
He and his fellow desert rats from the 4th Armored Brigade were already outnumbered 5 to 1 by the German tanks, and now those odds just keep getting worse.
21
They've got to keep firing back, reinforcements should be on their way.
22
Kloes shouts to his crew to load armor-piercing ammunition.
23
Load armor-piercing.
24
Target's 1200 yards, 12 o'clock.
25
Down below, the loader pulls a 37mm round from storage and shoves it home into the breach.
26
The gunner gets a Panzer III lined up in his sights.
27
Close gives the order to fire and the gunner squeezes the hand trigger sending the round towards the panzer.
28
It strikes the German tank's front plate kicking up a huge fountain of sparks.
29
But Close and his crew are disappointed to see that the round has bounced straight off.
30
The panzer keeps advancing as if nothing has happened.
31
Over on the German side Rommel stays close to the action as the battle progresses.
32
As commander of the entire Panzerarmee Africa he should stay well behind the front lines in a headquarters tent.
33
But Rommel is rather upfront with the men, seeing the battle play out before his own eyes.
34
He looks through his binoculars and sees British tank after British tank go up in flames.
35
Map in hand, he gives orders to his radioman, urging the German units to keep pressing forward.
36
If they can just break through the British forces here, there's nothing but empty desert all the way to the vital Allied port in Tobruk.
37
Kamel confidently leads his tank forts, certain that the British lines are on the verge of collapse.
38
But then he's swung by an enormous blast as one of the Panzer III's close to him is hit and explodes.
39
Kamel can't believe what he's seeing as the German crew scrambled to escape the burning tank.
40
It wasn't a mine and it wasn't artillery.
41
This was an enemy tank.
42
Kamel desperately scans the British lines to try
43
and get a look at what on earth could have knocked out a brand new up-armoured Panzer III.
44
Then he sees it.
45
In between the tiny Stuart tanks, a series of much larger tanks have taken up position.
46
The huge vehicles are American-made M3 Grant tanks, armed with 75mm guns that can punch right through a Panzer III.
47
Kummel hurriedly orders his gunner to target the nearest tank.
48
The gunner gets the huge British vehicle positioned in his sights.
49
Fire!
50
The round hurtles towards a Grand and smashes into its thick frontal armor, but the shell bounces right off.
51
Kummel instantly orders another shot.
52
The Panzer's shell flies again to the target.
53
Once more, it just pings away.
54
Return fire comes immediately.
55
A massive 75mm shell punches into the front armor of another Panzer III, setting it up in flames.
56
Kummel's mind races.
57
He immediately activates his radio and calls up the chain of command.
58
He needs fire support or his panzers could be immediately wiped out.
59
The radio message arrives at Rommel's half-track.
60
He has no idea that the British had grand tanks in this sector.
61
Their appearance could throw his entire plan into jeopardy.
62
Rommel orders his aide to call up the motorized artillery regiment.
63
But the radio brings terrible news.
64
The artillery is still trying to catch up to catch up, they're too far away to provide fire support.
65
A more cautious commander would likely call off the attack, but Rommel's been in this situation before.
66
Within moments, a team of four half-tracks rushes up from the rear, each towing an enormous 88-millimeter FLAC gun.
67
The massive weapon was designed to shoot down allied bombers, but it can also rip through enemy tanks.
68
The vehicles screech to a halt, kicking up a cloud of dust.
69
Jumping down from the rear, the soldiers quickly spring into action.
70
Unhooking the guns from the trailers, they disconnect the transport wheels.
71
An explosion rocks the German gun crews.
72
The British Grant tanks have spotted them and are already sending high explosive 75mm rounds towards their position.
73
The Grants are struggling at this range and their shots land scattered around the guns.
74
But soon a round manages to find a way to its target and smashes directly into one of the 88mm guns.
75
Smoke and flames rise from the devastated weapon.
76
The German flak artillerymen drop down to the sand as shrapnel rains down upon them.
77
Rommel wastes no time and runs over to one of the surviving guns
78
and helps haul down a steel outrigger from the side.
79
Inspired by his example, the German troops jump up and return to their work and soon have the guns ready.
80
The loader heaves the 88mm armor-piercing shell onto the breech of the gun.
81
The gun commander identifies his target and shouts out the targeting information to the gunner.
82
The 88 braws and the high-velocity shell streaks across the battlefield.
83
and right through the frontal armor of the grand tank.
84
The big British tank explodes at a fireball, sending shards of metal flying through the air.
85
The German gunnery teams work like clockwork as they load and aim their massive guns.
86
The 88s fire off their deadly shells cutting through the desert air.
87
Then the spent cases fly backwards leaving a massive pile of hot steel in the sand.
88
One by one, huge columns of smoke and flames rise into the sky as the British tanks go up in flames.
89
Because of the power of the 88mm guns, the German tanks can start their advance again.
90
Panzer, forward!
91
Befehle halten!
92
All Panzer, forward, front.
93
At the front of the German force, Kummel starts driving his battalion forward again with new urgency.
94
The British lines are in disarray and his tanks are soon closing in on the remaining enemy vehicles.
95
Kummel races against time, bringing his tank group onto the British flank to hit the enemy's armor from the weak side.
96
The tanks leave behind streaming orange trails as they roar over the sand.
97
The Grand tanks are pinned down facing forward, still trying to compete with the 88s.
98
They don't see the danger moving around their flanks.
99
Soon Kummol's battalion are in position.
100
The large slab sides of the Grand tanks are visible through the haze.
101
The loader slams around into the breach.
102
Kummol's gunner brings the sights onto the side of the nearest Grand.
103
The round streaks through the air and punches into the side of the British vehicle.
104
Inevitably, flames burst up from the hull.
105
The rest of Kummer's battalion joins in, as the Grants turn themselves once more to face the Germans.
106
The British tanks start returning fire and a Panzer III goes up in a column of flames.
107
But while they turn to face the new threat, the flak guns continue their barrage and more 88 rounds come tearing into the Grants.
108
The British tanks are trapped as vicious German fire pours in from the front and from the side.
109
Soon the British line begins to buckle and Kamal calls for his tanks to advance again.
110
Just 100 yards behind the Grants, Lieutenant Bill Close watches the British line give way.
111
He knows this will likely be his last stand, but still maneuvers his steward into position into position to meet the next German attack.
112
Target Mk.
113
3, 100 yards at the front.
114
Determined to keep fighting, he drops back down through the hatch.
115
The loader slams home another round.
116
The gunner quickly gets the German tank lined up. On target.
117
Fire!
118
The steward's 37mm cracks and sends a round towards the nearest Panzer III.
119
This time the shell blasts through the German tank's armor.
120
Smoke rises from the hatches and the German crew scramble from the tank.
121
At this range the Stuart finally has some bite.
122
It's one panzer down, but there are dozens more behind it.
123
Close gets on his radio and tries to call for some artillery covering fire.
124
But the response is negative.
125
The British artillery isn't ready to fire.
126
The Stuart tanks have to hold the line.
127
There's a massive blast as yet another tank near Lieutenant Close takes a hit.
128
The tank commander is killed instantly and the rest of the crew struggle to bail out.
129
Just as they drop down to the sand, machine gun fire thumps into the ground around them.
130
The Germans are trying to pick off the survivors.
131
Their only hope is Lieutenant Klose and his tank.
132
They frantically call over to him and Klose orders his driver to move the steward over.
133
The tank rumbles closer to the survivors
134
and Klose uses the commander's hatch as cover while he peeks out to direct the rescue.
135
Just 100 meters away, Johannes Kummel spots Klos' stuart tank.
136
He can see Klos giving orders from the turret.
137
An enemy commander is always a valuable target, and Kummel makes a quick decision to take out the stuart.
138
The Panzer III's cannon thunders and the round streaks towards Klos' stuart.
139
The shell strikes the frontal armour of the steward and the tank starts smoking.
140
Klos' tank is riddled with shrapnel and is completely immobilised.
141
The driver is hit with shrapnel on the shoulder but the rest of the crew survive unscathed.
142
Bail out!
143
Move!
144
Move!
145
Klos orders them to bail out
146
and then hauls himself out of his hatch before dropping down onto the scorching hot engine compartment.
147
The metal hull is hot enough to fry an egg and Klose quickly jumps down to take cover behind the tank.
148
The rest of his crew evacuate as quickly as possible.
149
They keep their heads down out of the incoming fire.
150
Behind the battle, Rommel is still with the mighty 88mm guns as they continue their lethal work.
151
The radio crackles into life over the crescendo of firing with the latest report from Kummel.
152
The Africa Corps has smashed through the British lines.
153
We have the English lines crossed.
154
Rommel listens to the radio message with satisfaction.
155
His decision has paid off.
156
Now the Desert Fox wants to be exactly where the action is.
157
Bring us forward!
158
The half-track roars off across the desert towards the gunfire and explosions.
159
In a desperate last stand on the British lines, Bill Close has managed to commandeer a tank from another crew in his unit.
160
He and his crewmen clamber aboard their new steward and take the tank forward into battle as rounds whiz past all around.
161
The enemy is almost on top of them.
162
Mark 3, 12 o'clock, 200 yards.
163
The gunner trains the gun on the target. On target!
164
Fire!
165
The round smashes into the Panzer III's armor.
166
It's a direct hit and the crew abandon the burning tank as it's still moving forward.
167
Kloes scans the battlefield.
168
The German Panzers are closing in from the front and from the side.
169
Another round slams into a steward next to Kloes, setting it ablaze.
170
The enemy has totally outflanked the British and their position is now hopeless.
171
Pull back!
172
All tanks pull back!
173
The British tank force start to roll back across the desert sand and then go into full retreat.
174
Just a few hundred yards away Johannes Kummel knows he's got to press home the attack.
175
His tanks have suffered from the big guns of the Grants and the fierce resistance of the little Stuart tanks.
176
But even with just one third of their number remaining, they're strong enough to take out the remaining enemy tanks.
177
His tank battalion keeps advancing.
178
They push through the burning British hulls and maintain a steady rain of fire towards the retreating survivors.
179
More British tanks go up in flames and it looks like it's going to be a complete rout of the enemy.
180
But it's then that the battlefield erupts with deep booms as clouds of dust and shrapnel burst around the panzers.
181
From 10 kilometers away, the British have finally organized their field artillery and have directed it towards the battlefield.
182
Kummel braces himself against the onslaught as 25-pounder rounds smash down into the German tank formations.
183
A Panzer III takes a direct hit and belches black smoke while the crew dive out of the hatches the hatches.
184
Kummel is devastated but he knows it's not worth the risk to keep advancing into the accurate artillery barrage.
185
The British artillery has saved close and the last survivors from being wiped out but it has not saved the battle.
186
The desert is filled with burning British tanks.
187
Kummel's panzers have punched through the British armored force and sent it into full retreat.
188
Rommel's half-track pulls up to the front line as the British artillery fades.
189
The Grand tanks and the artillery have taken a toll, and dozens of German tanks too lie wrecked in the sand.
190
But the losses were worth it.
191
The Desert Fox surveys the battlefield with pride for the efforts of his men.
192
Pressing forward against the heavy Grand tanks was a risk, but it has paid off.
193
The way to Tobruk is now open.
194
In less than a month, Rommel captured the Allied fortress at the port of Tobruk.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
