Again, right, T.A. However, carrying the supplies through the Mediterranean was the main issue. As Erwan Bergott says in his book "Akrika Korps"; a little bit more than 50% of Rommel supplies ended in the bottom of the Mediterranean. And the remaining 50% was scattered between Benghazi and El Alamein in all the lenght of the Via Balbia, where those supply lorries were a perfect target for the desert RAF. All these things mean that aproximately a tenth of all the supplies reach the front. A tenth of the total he was assigned.
