Beda Fomm, battle of. In February 1941, early in the
Western Desert campaigns, units of
O'Connor's 13th British Corps cut off the retreat of
Marshal Graziani's Tenth Italian Army to Tripoli by moving inland across the desert and severing the coastal road south of Beda Fomm. It was a high-risk tactic, but the British knew through
signals intelligence that the Italians thought such a move impossible. After fierce fighting the British took 25,000
prisoners-of-war, and the Italian Air Force and Tenth Army were shattered.
