Auchinleck withdrew his forces 400km back into Egypt; Tobruk fell on 21 June but the German/Italian advance was halted at the First Battle of El Alamein by the Eighth Army.
Auchinleck's reputation subsequently suffered unfairly at the hands of the Montgomery publicity machine: Montgomery launched his El Alamein offensive even later than the date proposed by Auchinleck while still in command.

Claude Auchinleck wurde im Frühjahr 1940 Oberbefehlshaber des britischen Expeditionskorps in Norwegen und nach dessen Rückzug im Juni 1940 bis Dezember 1940 dem sogenannten Southern Command in Süd-England.
In dieser Stellung von Sir Harold Alexander abgelöst, erhielt Auchinleck den Oberbefehl in Indien und tauschte am 5.07.1941 den Posten mit dem glücklosen Wavell als Oberbefehlshaber Mittlerer Osten und damit oberster Gegner Rommels im Afrikafeldzug.
Trotz der Stabilisierung der Front und einiger, bemerkenswerter Abwehrerfolge, ersetzte der ungeduldige Winston Churchill, Feldmarschall Auchinleck am 8.08.1942 erneut durch Alexander und gab ihm erst am 20.06.1943 wieder ein Kommando als OberBefehlshaber in Indien und Pakistan, seinem alten, jetzt militärisch wenig bedeutenden Posten.
