The Desert Rats background

The Desert Rats

A Scottish Army officer leads a diverse group of Australian and New Zealand soldiers stationed on the outskirts of Tobruk, battling to hold off the German forces that seek to drive them out.

Tobruk is held by a vastly outnumbered force of Australian troops, led by Richard Burton, who launch daring raids against Rommel's forces, earning the nickname 'The Desert Rats' as they challenge the German general's advance towards the Suez Canal.
