Added material to prelude. Keith-264 ( talk) 09:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Might this article (especially the Background..Afika Corp section) read a bit better were the English translations of German unit designations to be used--as is typical of most such articles? Giving the German designation parenthetically (if desired) would be more consistent. Juan Riley ( talk) 17:13, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
Added more material but it needs a ce when it's finished, particularly the periodisation. Keith-264 ( talk) 11:39, 3 August 2015 (UTC) Got most of the narrative done, need to do the Aftermath section. Keith-264 ( talk) 13:19, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
The article is good, it just assumes too much information. You certainly haven't over linked this, either. auntieruth (talk) 15:55, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, anything else? Keith-264 ( talk) 16:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Are Rommel's actions on the ground described in the "Battle" section really part of Sonnenblume? I thought that was merely the codename of the troop transfer. Srnec ( talk) 22:24, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
In this article it just says "British Empire". This is not the way commonwealth and Indian participation is called out in the infobox of other similar articles. E.g., second battle of El Alamein. Juan Riley ( talk) 00:39, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
"103–107 German tanks were knocked out but many were recovered later and repaired.[50]"
Should this more accurate reflect they were damaged, largely through wear and tear; rather than knocked out. Jentz for example, notes that the German records show a mere 3 knocked out during the period, several more damaged. Other sources indicate the large mechanical losses from their dash through the desert. EnigmaMcmxc ( talk) 18:31, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
The article mentions that during the battle quote ‘A Squadron of the LRDG had appeared from the south, to harass Axis movements.’
Is this sentence referring to ‘a’ squadron of the LRDG or ‘A’ Squadron of the LRDG?
Also should the LRDG appear in the order of battle section? 2A02:C7E:2C10:4900:DC29:31C3:4D14:C5EE ( talk) 01:42, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
The Axis order of Battle is nearly done but I don't understand some order to the British order of Battle. Can someone name and highlight the main forces involved .(Apart from the British 2nd Armored Division ). Jheeeeeeteegh ( talk) 11:29, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
