Operation Findlater

Operation Findlater refers to a British military operation during World War II in 1941 aimed at evacuating troops from the besieged city of Tobruk in Libya. As German and Italian forces threatened the area, the operation focused on retrieving Commonwealth forces to prevent encirclement and capture. Named after the British commander, the operation involved careful planning and execution under challenging conditions. Ultimately, it highlighted the strategic importance of Tobruk in the North African campaign and emphasized the need for effective evacuation strategies in wartime scenarios.
