On 07.04.1941, Bolbrinker attacked the British fort of "el Mechili" in Libya with only 7 Panzers and managed to take it despite the absence of support from other friendly forces and strong enemy resistance. This attack ultimately resulted in the capture of the 2nd English Armoured Division’s staff (including 2 generals and 2 colonels), about 3000 prisoners, and large quantities of all manner of war materiel, including almost 30 anti-tank guns.
