During Rommel's first desert offensive and the [[Siege of Tobruk]], Rommel was often critical of his generals as well as the Italian Supreme Command, but praised the Bersaglieri on numerous occasions, such as the encircling action of the 8th Bersaglieri Regiment in the victory over the British Commonwealth forces during the Battle of Mechili.

Their contribution in successfully defending the Gazala Line during [[Operation Crusader]], was also absolutely vital to one of Rommel’s most significant victories in the defeat of the British 1st Battalion, Royal East Kent Regiment (''The Buffs'') and other units from the British-officered 5th Indian Brigade with over 1,000 Allied soldiers killed, wounded or captured during the Italo-German counterattack.
The 3rd, 5th and 6th Bersaglieri Regiments fought on the Eastern front against the Red Army.
