Completed on 20 June 1942, this rare and confidential intelligence handbook was issued at the height of Rommel's advance on Egypt. It coincides with the fall of Tobruk (17-21 June), which gained the Axis a port nearer the Aegean-Crete route, and Rommel a promotion to Field-Marshal. On 22 June, Rommel asked Mussolini to postpone the invasion of Malta so he could continue his offensive with necessary air support. Mussolini referred the matter to Hitler, who agreed the following day. Churchill described the loss as "one of the heaviest blows I can recall during the war. Not only were its military effects grievous, but it had affected the reputation of the British armies". This work was thus issued to inform the continuation of the offensive.
