      27 July 1941
      Oberstleutnant Cramer, commander of Panzer-Regiment 8, led his Regiment in a march from Tripoli to its operations area (a distance of over 1600 km) without any friendly fallouts, and the result was that it was immediately available for operations in an excellent state. After a risky night march he captured Sidi Azeiz and Capuzzo in the morning hours of the 16.05.1941. On that same day he led his Regiment in an attack against heavy English tanks, and at the end of that month he significantly contributed to the capture of the Halfaya Pass. By doing this latter act he decisively contributed to the favourable development of the situation for all elements of Kampfgruppe von Herff and for the relief of the strain of our forces at Tobruk.
