Operation 'Skorpion" May 1941
Not long after Opn "Brevity," in which the British captured Halfaya Pass, the Germans took it back. The defending force was 3rd Bn Coldstream Gds, with A/T, arty and Matilda support. The attack comprised 3 assault groups, presumably fron von Herffs' Gruppe.

Can anyone help me with more exact details?

There is a Panzerblitz scenario on this fight. Don't know how accurate the OOBs are, but someone researched it and the various formations involved are listed. Here is a link to the details -

"For what it is worth... " you said, Jason. A lot, actually. That will do nicely, thank you.

BTW....Formations are brigades and higher. Units-battalions, regiments.
Elements or subunits.... companies and below. Or their equivalents in other arms/services.
The link is useful:........
