Sidi Rezegh, 22 November: On 21 November, the 7th Armoured Brigade successfully cleared the edge of the escarpment, north of Sidi Rezegh, and consolidated their positions in the area of the airfield. This was fortunate as it gave their tanks a place of safe haven, behind the 25-pounders, to avoid the panzers advancing from the south. By dawn on 22 November, however, growing concerns forced the Germans to break-off their attacks and, for the first time since the panzers had come together on 20 November, the Panzer Divisions were sent in opposite directions. The 15th Panzer was sent east, in response to the New Zealand advance from Bardia, while the 21st Panzer was sent to el Duda, to block any renewed action by the Tobruk garrison. Later in the day, when neither of these threats materialized, the panzers again came together at Sidi Rezegh, sandwiching what remained of the 7th Armoured Division.
