Belhamed and Point 175 explains how ridges, escarpments, and numbered terrain features shaped the battle around Tobruk and Sidi Rezegh. In the open desert, even modest high ground could decide who saw first, fired first, moved safely, or became exposed. The episode follows the struggle for these key positions and shows why terrain remained central even in a campaign famous for fast-moving tanks. Belhamed and Point 175 mattered because they helped determine whether the corridor to Tobruk could be held, cut, or reopened. Produced by Trackpads.com.
