A fascist group that has been meeting at the NSW Humanist House was itself met with protest last month. This month, the group — known as either ‘Klub National’ or ‘Klub Naziya’ — will again face public protest.
“Today, the Humanist Society of New South Wales is part of the International Humanist and Ethical Union that has formal consultative status with the United Nations”; “Based in London, IHEU is an international NGO with Special Consultative Status with the UN (New York, Geneva, Vienna), General Consultative Status at UNICEF (New York) and the Council of Europe (Strasbourg), and maintains operational relations with UNESCO (Paris). IHEU has observer status at the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights.”
LOL.
There will be another community rally at 7pm on Friday 6 November, at Humanist House – 10 Shepherd St, Chippendale.
This is the next scheduled KN gathering. The Humanist Society are being very cagey about whether or not they’re going to continue to support neo-nazis, and KN may or may not chose to meet where they know they will face collective opposition.
If they turn up we will be there to tell them they are not welcome. If they don’t, we’ll have a street party to celebrate.

Too many Florence Nightingales

Too many halos not enough heroes

Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal

In the face of a PR nightmare, Pennsylvania authorities have withdrawn all charges against two members of Tortuga accused of using Twitter to aid protesters at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. At a hearing today [November 3], instead of oral arguments regarding a defense motion to unseal the secret 18-page affidavit authorizing the arrests of Elliott Madison and Michael Wallschlager at a motel just outside of Pittsburgh, the prosecution immediately moved to withdraw all charges against the two before the defense had a chance to argue its case. Although clear from the beginning that these charges were absurd based on the State’s very own laws, our housemates were incarcerated for 36 hours, had their van towed and belongings confiscated, and one house member was given $30,000 in straight bail…
An update on Jock Palfreeman’s ongoing trial (for murder and attempted murder) in Sofia, Bulgaria. For further details, see : Jock Palfreeman : October 2009 Update. His last court date was on October 29. Below is an account of that hearing.
Court started at 9.30am and was finished by approximately 10am. One witness summoned by the court gave testimony: the civilian operator of a camera (footage from which was, unlike other cases, not deleted). She gave an account of the footage (already screened in court), and reiterated the fact that the footage contained evidence of a conflict between two groups: a small group filmed crossing a road and also a much larger group. Following this, both groups began running — the small group away from the larger group. (NB. The small group crossing the road are Roma; the larger group composed of football hooligans.) When asked why she believed the two groups were running, the witness stated that, on the basis of the footage, she was unable to venture an opinion.
In addition to the camera operator, six expert witnesses, composed of two groups of three, were called upon to give testimony. The first group of experts were expected to provide details of the autopsy conducted upon the body of Andrei Monov, the second group to provide details of the medical report upon Anton Zahariev (whom Jock is being charged with attempting to murder). These two groups are the last expected to be called upon to give testimony.
Note that all experts are state-appointed. This is unlike Australian law, where both the defence and the prosecution are able to call upon their own experts. Further, both teams of experts must be present in court before their reports can be officially submitted, and so that they are available for cross-examination. In other words, if one member of either group doesn’t appear, no report can be submitted to and be accepted by the court.
At the most recent hearing, experts again failed to appear, so the trial has again been delayed.
Bulgarian media
Naturally, Bulgarian media have been following Jock’s case fairly closely. However, this reportage has contained a number of factual errors:
Jock’s father: the lawyer
Under Bulgarian law, one member of the accused’s family may be appointed as a defendant’s legal guardian. One result of this legal provision is that it entitles the family member to act on their relative’s behalf (to address the court, to question witnesses, and so on). Jock’s father has acted in this capacity since March 2008 — but he is not a lawyer.
Denial of bail
Some media reports have stated that the reason Jock’s initial bail application was denied was on the grounds that he was deemed to be ‘aggressive’. His initial application was lodged three days after his arrest. On that occasion, the magistrate cried during proceedings and repeatedly shouted at Jock that he was a ‘hooligan’.
Unsurprisingly perhaps, bail was denied.
A subsequent appeal — lodged a few days after the magistrate’s original refusal — was also dismissed, although it found, in contradiction to the original denial, that there was no evidence of aggression on Jock’s part, or that he was a threat to society. Instead, the appeal was dismissed on the grounds that: a) it is unlawful to grant bail in cases where, if the defendant is found guilty, the minimum sentence is above 10 years; b) Jock is a foreign citizen (and therefore a flight risk).
A third bail application, submitted on July 2, 2009, was refused on similar grounds: Jock is a foreign citizen and there are insufficient links between Jock and Bulgaria to mitigate against his status as a flight risk. This is despite the fact that a number of Bulgarian citizens have volunteered themselves to act as Jock’s guarantors.
Experts contradicting Jock’s account
There has been some suggestion that experts contradict Jock’s version of events, but it would be just as possible, appropriate even, to suggest that expert accounts do not conform with the account given by the prosecutor (which is, in essence, that Jock launched an unprovoked, violent attack upon a large group of strangers. Note that in this account, the Roma have been disappeared). Thus, for example, the expert called upon to give testimony regarding video footage on the clash has stated in court that “the video material can show and come to the conclusion that the people involved show aggression in their actions — throwing of objects from the floor, throwing of people, kicking and shoving”.
Experts requiring more time
The relevant experts concluded their reports on the case in April 2008, at the conclusion of the prosecution’s investigation period. Since that time, there have been no updates from any experts other than from the court-appointed psychiatrists. Their report concluded that, inter alia, ‘Jock’s motivation is social justice’ and ‘Jock is not aggressive’. The only experts who have failed to appear — and whose final reports have therefore yet to be accepted by the court — are those detailed above: their testimony is expected to simply confirm the contents of their reports.

Anton Zahariev:
There was already a fight between my friends and other people whom I do not know and have not seen before. Some of these people I believe were gypsies, however, I am not certain. I do not know who started the fight. My friends and I were around 10 people. (Anton later changed his statement in court.)

‘Hotel worker’:
I saw a boy (Jock) running from Stamboliski St. towards the metro, a group of people was chasing him. I cannot give any description of the boy running. Just before the entrance of the metro the group caught up with the boy, knocked him down and began to kick him. They kicked him around 30 to 40 seconds in no apparent order. As far as I could tell there was much strength behind their kicks. Then one of the people from the group came from behind the boy (Jock) and threw an object at him, as far as I could tell it hit his head and the boy fell to the ground.
‘Unnamed witness’:
I saw a few boys chase one boy (Jock) in the direction towards the metro. They caught up to him near the entrance of the metro and knocked him to the ground then began to kick him. I can’t give description of the boy that was running or the people that were chasing him. At first three or four of them were kicking him but after a few others ran over and also began kicking him. There was no coordination behind their movements, who ever decided to kick him just went over and kicked him. During this whole thing the boy (Jock) was on the floor.

Victor Lubomirov (police officer):
I understood that a group of around 10 boys had a fight with one or two people who were gypsies. We did not find these (gypsy) boys at the scene. I also understood that the other boy (Jock) came to defend the gypsies. (Officers Peter Kacarov, Krasimira Stoianova and Slavei Tconkov tendered the same statement.)

Asen Stoichev (police officer):
I talked to Anton Zahariev and he told me that there was a fight between his group and others. Jock came over to help the minority and then the group attacked Jock. Jock tried to defend himself and … that is when Andrei was killed.
Adelaide construction worker and unionist Ark Tribe went to court last Friday (October 30): “Mr Tribe’s appearance before a magistrate was brief, with the case adjourned until December 18” (Jail threat sparks union protests, Ewin Hannan and Gavin Lower, The Australian, October 31, 2009).
Interestingly, the CFMEU has vowed to undertake “a national strike in the construction sector if Mr Tribe were jailed”, which claim naturally brings to mind The Curious Case of Clarrie O’Shea (1906–1988), the Victorian State Secretary of the Australian Tramway & Motor Omnibus Employees’ Association (ATMOE), jailed in 1969 by Sir John Kerr for contempt of the Industrial Court. The marriage ceremony between O’Shea and prison, conducted by Kerr, gave premature birth to a general strike in May of that year — O’Shea was released shortly thereafter (see : John Arrowsmith, Abolish the penal powers: freedoms fight of ’69, Trades Hall Council Administrative and Financial Review Committee, Melbourne, 1969 [PDF]).
…Over a period of five years from 1964 to 1969 the ATMOEA had accumulated 40 fines totalling $13,200 as a result of industrial action, none of which were paid by the union. O’Shea was ordered by the Commonwealth Industrial Court to provide the financial records of the ATMOEA, so that the court could determine the union’s ability to pay the outstanding fines. However, he point blank refused to provide the records.
The culmination of this conflict occurred on 15 May 1969 when O’Shea was jailed by Justice Kerr (later Sir John Kerr and Governor-General of Australia, notable for the sacking of the Whitlam Government) of the Commonwealth Industrial Court for contempt over the failure to answer summonses and pay fines totalling $8,100.
This sentencing resulted in national general strike action across a wide range of industries. There were a number of marches in many state capitals, often culminating in violent clashes between strikers and police. The level of public unrest caused anxiety to both Federal and State Governments, but they could not afford to be seen to back down, as they would otherwise appear to be soft on union militancy. This dilemma was only broken by the action of Dudley MacDougall, a former advertising manager for the Australian Financial Review, who paid the outstanding fines acting on behalf of an anonymous public benefactor who was said to have won the NSW State Lottery. O’Shea was released from Pentridge Prison on 21 May 1969.
On his release, O’Shea announced, “My release is a great victory for workers. I am certain that all workers remain adamant in their opposition to the penal powers, which are designed to suppress the workers. The infinite power of the workers when they are really aroused has frightened the life out of the government and the employers … I am certain the workers will continue the struggle for the abolition of all penal powers.”
The jailing of O’Shea was the last use of the penal sections of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act, although these provisions have never been repealed, so O’Shea did not get his wish. In order to prevent similar mass action over industrial issues, the Fraser Government introduced in 1977 sections 45D and 45E of the Trade Practices Act, which outlaws secondary boycotts within Australia – the very mechanism used to place pressure on the government of the day in the O’Shea case. These secondary boycott provisions still remain in force, but the public outrage generated by the jailing of O’Shea has prevented similar court action by the Federal Government.
Some things do change however, and one Sir has been replaced by the KRudd Government with another: the Australian Building & Construction Commission (ABCC): the failure of building workers like Ark to doff their caps when in its presence is another sure sign of society’s decay.
…and Brisbane, and Melbourne, and Sydney, and Perth…

Open Season played Melbourne on September 12; the band is scheduled to play next year on the Gold Coast (a few days before Adolf Hitler’s birthday), along with Melbourne band ‘Ravenous’ and, apparently, a foreign group of neo-Nazi string-pluckers, tub-thumpers and warblers. Oh yeah: some of Open Season’s other song titles include ‘Kill the Poofs’ and ‘Nigger Hunt’, which suggests — and I admit that I could be wrong — that the boys may harbour some degree of hostility towards homosexuals and blacks…
White supremacist group operating in Adelaide
Sam Rodrigues The Advertiser
November 3, 2009
AS racial tensions in Adelaide escalate, a white supremacist group is planning family fun days and using music to lure young people to its cause.
The South Australian chapter of “white racialist” group Blood and Honour Australia will hold a Christmas barbecue for like-minded people this month, in a “family-friendly environment”.
The group is promoting the event as its “white Xmas”.
The like-minded apparently excludes Asians, Africans, Indians, Jews, Arabs and other racial groups, as well as those with partners from these groups.
The national group, linked to international chapters, promotes music as the “powerful medium” of white resistance.
“We hold regular gigs around Australia for all those interested to attend and subsequently help a strong resistance grow,” its website said. “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”
Social Inclusion Commissioner Monsignor David Cappo has highlighted racism as a growing issue.
YouTube clips linked to Blood and Honour Australia feature violent clashes and highlight anti-Australia protests overseas – apparently to justify vilifying ethnic groups.
“In these dark times it’s our children’s future that is paramount and ultimately that’s what we’re all working for,” the website said. The group also holds regular “community building functions”.
Forums on its website and others linked to it have drawn comment on the stabbing death of Sudanese father Akol “Alex” Akok, 25, at suburban Ottoway last month. A spokesman for acting state Multicultural Affairs Minister Paul Holloway said he was reluctant to comment and give publicity to any such group.
Police could not say if they were monitoring the group, or its website. The group did not respond to interview requests yesterday.
Blood and Honour South Australian Section did not respond to email requests from The Advertiser for comment yesterday.
Melbourne media reported this weekend on a meeting of the group attended by members from across the country, particularly Adelaide, describing it as “resembling a scene from Romper Stomper”.
Of course, anyone interested in finding out more about Blood & Honour Australia could do worse than examine their forum, hacked and uploaded onto Wikileaks in March. 76 members of the forum nominated Australia as their place of residence.

The fired host of Good Game says he wants the war of words with the ABC to end, but he is sticking by his claims that he was kicked off the show because of his gender.
The show’s founding host, Jeremy Ray, was fired earlier this month, with viewers informed via a statement on the TV show’s online message board last week.
Ray, also known as the Junglist, says that statement failed to mention the true reason he was let go.
He says he was told in a meeting almost three weeks ago that he was going to be replaced by a woman because the ABC wanted the video gaming show to garner “mass appeal”.
Ray, who was born in Australia but lived in the United States for most of his childhood, says there was “a lot of internal politicking” going on behind the scenes, but that was not the reason for his dismissal.
“In the meeting, the only reason they gave was that they wanted a female presenter,” he told ABC News Online.
“There were comments made in that meeting that it would be great if the audience assumed, seeing as there is only four or five weeks left in the season, that I was sick or on holiday and that this whole thing was my idea.
“It was even suggested [at a different time], that I say on air that I’m going back to the States, which I found a little offensive because I’m an Australian citizen.
“Those sorts of comments made me worried that I was going to be misrepresented.”
Ray’s departure caused backlash from fans on Twitter. A website and Facebook groups also quickly popped up in support of him.
One of those Facebook groups, Save Junglist! – Support the Former Good Game Host Through His Mistreatment by the ABC, already has more than 5,000 members.
“The poor handing of the situation made the backlash even bigger than I thought it would be,” Ray said…

THERE is no place in a modern multicultural society such as ours for race-hate groups.
Sadly, they do exist. One that has recently come to our attention is an insidious neo-Nazi group calling itself the Australian chapter of Blood and Honour.
Members of this group profess hatred for Africans, Asians, Jews, Arabs, Indians and Pakistanis – in fact, all non-white races. They detest Barack Obama, multiculturalism and refugees, while paying homage to the memory of Adolf Hitler and the symbol of the Holocaust – the swastika.
About 30 members of the paranoid hate group came from around the nation to a secret meeting at the Tivoli German Club in Windsor on September 11. In appearance, they were mainly stereotypes.
Many had shaved heads and wore bomber jackets. Some had racist slogans tattooed on their bodies. They came to share their hatred of “the enemy” and to meet with potential new members.
The Tivoli Club, now expressing regret for unwittingly hosting the meeting, said it had a “no-swastika” policy.
It is inappropriate for the Tivoli Club, or any local community venue, to allow neo-Nazis to gather at their premises.
The extremist groups, according to human rights groups, are becoming more dangerous because they can now use more sophisticated means of communication in the cyberworld and link internationally.
It is bad enough that the internet allows such groups a vehicle to peddle race hatred, misguided beliefs and poisonous propaganda.
But it is perhaps even more disturbing to realise that a neo-Nazi group can gather in a renowned Melbourne community venue to spew hatred.
Only four years after race riots in the Sydney suburb of Cronulla, we must come to terms with the reality that groups of white supremacists also exist in our part of the country.
These extremist groups are small in number, but their fist-clenching hatred is real. They are dedicated to recruiting new members into their armies, sometimes through seemingly innocent rock concerts.
We urge police to keep a close watch on all white-supremacist and neo-Nazi groups in our midst. All reasonable Victorians, who celebrate our multiculturalism, will be opposed to their existence.
B&H has been operating in Australia for many years.
The meeting on September 11 at the German Tivoli Club took place the day before B&H — together with their neo-Nazi comrades in the (Southern Cross) Hammerskins — organised a gig to commemorate the death in 1993 of B&H co-founder (with similarly dead bonehead Nicky Crane) Ian Stuart Donaldson (‘ISD’). The gig took place at an undisclosed venue, and featured local neo-Nazi bands ‘Open Season’, ‘Ravenous’ and at least one and possibly two other bands. In 2008, the annual ‘ISD’ gig took place at ‘The Beaconsfield Hotel’ in Beaconsfield; in 2007 at the ‘Melbourne Croatia Social Club’ in Sunshine; in 2006 (and in previous years) at ‘The Birmingham Hotel’ in Fitzroy. (Note that The Birmingham has since undergone a process of de-Nazification, following what, according to Doug Smith — of Bulldog Spirit / Marching Orders / Skin Heads Neither For Nor Against Racial Prejudice — was “a pretty unsuccessful boycott”.)
In Victoria, the principal organiser / ‘state representative’ for B&H is Justin O’Brien. Justin manages a tattoo shop in Burwood: ‘Hold Fast Body Art’. On Monday, September 28, Justin and three of his comrades paid a visit to the ‘Melbourne Anarchist Resource Centre’ in Northcote, where they interrupted a meeting of a group campaigning against sexual violence. According to witnesses, Justin stated, inter alia, that he wanted to know my location — and not, I think, in order to exchange recipes for lemon cheesecake — and threatened those present, and any other group — in fact, all other users of the space, and ‘antifa’ generally — with (continued) violence if anti-fascist activity in Melbourne did not stop.
This activity would include, presumably, my own blogging on the subject.
Thus far, Justin’s visit has received minimal publicity — only one local newspaper reported on it. On the other hand, news of his declaration of war upon all those in Melbourne who may not be kindly disposed towards Nazism — and those, like Justin, who continue to celebrate its legacy — has been spread around various local activist communities, and the general consensus, it seems, on my estimation, is that this action was neither big nor clever.
Speaking of neither big nor clever, John Kopko, one of the men involved in a knife fight during a speech given by Holocaust revisionist David Irving in Florida several days ago, was reportedly a member of ‘Crew 38’, the subsidiary mob for prospective members of the Hammerskins.
Of the four men who attended MARC on September 28, one was equipped with a ‘Crew 38’ patch.

Oddly, Jesse has recently decided — or perhaps been forced? — to remove his videos from circulation on YouTube. Also removed from circulation, sadly, is the song Jesse sang titled ‘Oh no here comes an Abo’; a song recorded with members of the Belgian neo-Nazi band ‘Kill Baby Kill’ while they were on tour (2008).
Finally, note that B&H and the Hammerskins are organising a gig on the Gold Coast a few days prior (April 17) to Hitler’s birthday (April 20). Scheduled to jackboot on stage are Jesse’s band ‘Ravenous’, the proudly (neo-)Nazi ‘Open Season’ and some foreign (neo-)Nazis.

Neo-nazis meet
Eleni Hale and Liam Houlihan Sunday Herald Sun
November 1, 2009
VICTORIA Police has warned race-hate groups they will face the full force of the law following revelations of Melbourne’s neo-Nazi underworld.
In September, neo-Nazis met at a gathering organised by members of Blood & Honour at the German Club Tivoli in Windsor.
There they openly vilified minorities, encouraged each other to target non-whites with violence and showed off swastika tattoos.
The scenes have prompted authorities to remind the fascist groups their hate speech is illegal.
“Victoria Police does not tolerate unlawful racial and religious vilification and will use available legislation to pursue anyone who commits or incites such behaviour,” a spokeswoman warned.
The president of the German Club Tivoli, which hosted one of the neo-Nazi meetings, said he would now issue direct written instructions to staff not to accommodate members of the group.
Eddie Reichman said the booking was made in a man’s name and the staff member responsible was no longer with the club.
“If they’ve been in here, it’s been without our knowledge and against the policy of the club,” Mr Reichman said.
He said no swastikas were allowed at the premises.
“We’re following the guidelines that we’re getting from the Consular Department and the embassy (saying) what the German Government’s policy is and it’s just not on,” he said.
“That particular group is known to the club as some tattoo club, I was told.
“They were wearing all different tattoos, not particularly just swastikas, I was told.”
Anti-racist group Fight Dem Back said mainstream businesses hosting neo-Nazis was completely unacceptable.

Inside look at racist group

November 1, 2009
The gathering resembles a scene from Romper Stomper.
A skinhead in his late 20s shows off his newest “art” – a 30cm wide swastika tattooed across his chest, with a written tribute to Adolf Hitler below.
He is not out of place. About 30 men and women in their early 20s to late 40s – most with shaved heads, bomber jackets and tattoos on their arms and necks – are here.
But this is not a scene from a movie.
It is a secret meeting organised by members of the Australian chapter of Blood & Honour in a private room at Windsor’s German Club Tivoli – whose president has since denied knowledge of the meeting’s neo-Nazi roots – held on Friday, September 11.
It was witnessed by sources and relayed to the Sunday Herald Sun.
Those attending have come from across Australia, including many from Adelaide.
The room is adorned with two chandeliers, white table clothes and shiny cutlery.
There are menus in German and jugs of water on the tables, which are joined in a large U-shape like a boardroom.
But their words are far from civilised. There is fist-clenching and vein-throbbing.
They hate Africans, Asians, Jews, Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis, any women who partner men from those races and any resulting offspring.
They hate multiculturalism, Barack Obama and refugees.
And with the same intensity they love white skin, Hitler, ethnic cleansing, guns, the “brotherhood” they share … and the blonde German tourist present – a perfect specimen, they comment.
After dinner they debate the David and Goliath battle they face.
In their world, David is trying to “secure the future existence of our people and a future for white children”, while Goliath is non-white migration.
“I know an Irish girl with red hair and blue eyes who can’t get a visa here and yet they let every Asian or Indian who raises their hand invade our country,” one complains.
“That is treason, pure and simple.”
“The Immigration Minister should be hung for crimes against his own kind.”
A man says: “It’s not the Arabs you have to worry about. They always f–k things up for themselves.
“It’s the Indians and Pakis you need to watch because they fit in, keep their heads down and multiply.
“At work they think I love multiculturalism because I get to know the bastards. You have to know the enemy.”
Another describes his anger at a T-shirt worn by an Indian youth stating: “I haven’t seen a kangaroo around here for years.”
“I should have bashed the c—,” he says.
“I followed him for a bit, but I didn’t realise what it meant until I thought about it later. They are taking over this country and rubbing it in our faces.”
Another man nods.
“That’s why I have my gun licence. I am just waiting for one of them to break into my place, then I’ll have an excuse to blow their heads off,” he says.
Another man replies: “Maybe your gun will go missing – pop, pop, pop – and then I’ll disappear.”
Everyone laughs except the gun owner whose face remains stony.
“I’ll tell police I was robbed, they broke into my safe,” he says.
They also hate the Australian school system.
“I would home school my kids because all they need to know is how to read, write and shoot a target at 800m,” one says.
“There is no way I am sending them to class to write 1000 word essays about how great multiculturalism is.”
One boasts about dropping anti-migration leaflets in inner city locations.
The leaflet drops are organised by the Nationalist Alternative, which has campaigned against the building of a mosque on Blenheim Rd, Newport.
The meeting and extremist websites are evidence that neo-Nazism is flourishing in Melbourne.
Blood & Honour’s website, which promotes white power music, says: “We believe there is a need to provide White youth with an alternative to the ‘hip-hop’ culture so eagerly promoted by the Zionist controlled media.”
Another site is run by affiliated group, the Southern Cross Hammerskins and there is even a Women for Aryan Unity site.
Another site, Nationalist Network, encourages people to put “business cards in library books” – “learn to use and maintain all weapons at your disposal” – and even “recruit the elderly living in multicultural neighbourhoods”.
There has been a disturbing growth in racist groups and associated violence globally, including attacks on Asian shopkeepers in the UK recently.
Back in Windsor, the meeting ends with ominous whispers of “some action”.

In January 1941, Australians fought their first major land battle in World War II when men of the 6th Division AIF, and other Allied troops, engaged Italian forces at the town of Bardia on the coast of Libya. On 3-5 January 1941, the Italian positions were attacked and Bardia was captured. Over 40,000 Italian prisoners were taken.
Advancing west along the Libyan coast, the 6th Australian Division captured Tobruk from the Italians on 21-22 January 1941 and the town became a garrison for the Australian and British forces. In early March, one of Hitler’s best generals, Erwin Rommel with his Afrika Korps, came to the aid of their Italian allies in Libya. By April, German forces had begun to cut off and surround Tobruk. For eight months, from April to December 1941, Tobruk was besieged and Australian forces, notably the men of the 9th Division, the 18th Brigade of the 7th Division and RAN ships of the famous ‘scrap iron flotilla’ played a prominent role in the town’s defence.
The year 1941 was a dark one for the Allies. The Germans conquered all before them but Tobruk held out against Rommel and stood in the way of his advance towards Egypt and the Suez Canal. The defiance of the defenders of Tobruk raised morale in the countries of the British Empire and Commonwealth. Those who served there became known as the ‘Rats of Tobruk’, so-called because the German radio propaganda broadcaster ‘Lord Haw Haw’ described them as rats living in the ground.
