The Desert Rats background

The Desert Rats

A gripping tale of camaraderie and resilience unfolds as a Scottish Army officer, stationed with Australian and New Zealand soldiers, leads the defense of Tobruk against the relentless German forces.

Tobruk, a strategic stronghold held by a vastly outnumbered force of Australian troops, led by Richard Burton, becomes the last obstacle for Rommel's advance towards the Suez Canal. The Australians, earning the nickname 'The Desert Rats', engage in daring raids against Rommel, thwarting his plans and keeping him off balance.
