          At the beginning of Operation Crusader, some of the infantry of the 21st Panzer was helping to 
  cover the front, with the tanks in reserve.  When the attack came, 21st Panzer was ordered to counterat-
  tack any British armor it could find.  Five days into the battle, the 21st found the British 7th Armored 
  division at Sidi Rezegh and scored a sizable victory against it, destroying most of its tanks and losing 
  few of its own.  The 21st then drove northeast to destroy the Allied infantry divisions but missed them in 
  the desert.  They continued forward and linked with the Tobruk garrison.  With his supply lines now 
  hopelessly stretched, Rommel was forced into a major retreat and the British had their first victory 
  against the Germans in North Africa.
