Tobruk is a 1967 World War II adventure film directed by Arthur Hiller and stars Rock Hudson, George Peppard and Nigel Green. The film focuses on a joint British/SIG (Special Interrogation Group) raid on the fuel dumps at German controlled port city of Tobruk. The raid is led by British Colonel Harker (Nigel Green) with a core of british troops supported by the SIG team, led by Captain Bergman (George Peppard). Joining the team is Major Donald Craig (Rock Hudson), a Canadian who was pressed into service by Harker.

The film is a fictionalized account of the actual raids conducted during the war. In reality, the historical SIG was a group of German Jews recruited from the then British territory of Palestine to fight the Nazis in various ways, including sabotage, infiltration, espionage behind the lines and interrogation of German prisoners. They operated mainly during the African campaign and was disbanded in late 1942.


The following weapons were used in the film Tobruk (1967):
