The  Ramcke brigade was formed in 1942 and sent to  North Afrika,  Ramcke's unit fought during the Afrika Korps's assault towards the Suez Cannal before British opposition solidified near the town of El Alamein. The British advance resulted in the separation of the Brigade from German forces and, lacking motorized transport, unable to move because of fighting surrounded on all sides, they captured a British supply convoy carrying food and fuel, Using those trucks, about 600 survivors returned to German lines.
