It was discussed on 9 and 13 January 1942 by the Chiefs of Staff and representatives of [[Middle East Command]] (General Sir [[Claude Auchinleck]]). The Chief of Imperial General Staff, General [[Alan Brooke]], wondered if the operation &quot;was on&quot; because of the delays in the capture of [[Cyrenaica]] because it could not be carried out for six weeks, during which Axis reinforcements could flow into Africa from Italy. Brooke had a low opinion of Auchinleck&#039;s staff, though not of Auchinleck; the situation in the Far East was already serious.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |last=Alanbrooke |first=Field Marshal Lord |authorlink=Alan Brooke |title=War Diaries 1939–1945 |publisher=Phoenix Press |year=2001 |location=London |pages=219, 225 |isbn=1-84212-526-5}} &lt;/ref&gt; The planning of Operation Acrobat is depicted by a propaganda film &#039;&#039;[[Tunisian Victory]]&#039;&#039; (1944).
