Original Toronto Star caption: Wrecked axis ships; pounded from the air and sea; littered Bengazi harbor when General Alexander's Eighty Army arrived close behind the retreating German Afrika Korps. Some idea of the effectiveness of the efforts of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy in preventing suplies and reinforcements reaching General Rommels army may be gained from this photograph.
