El Alamein:

The Battle of El Alamein, fought in the deserts of North Africa, is seen as one of the decisive victories of World War Two.

The Battle of El Alamein was primarily fought between two of the outstanding commanders of World War Two, Montgomery, who succeeded the dismissed Auchinleck, and Rommel.

 

The Allied victory at El Alamein lead to the retreat of the Afrika Korps and the German surrender in North Africa in May 1943

 

In July 1942, General Erwin Rommel and the Italo-German Panzer Armee Afrika, (part of the Deutsches Afrika Korps) were only 113km (70 miles) from Alexandria.

 

The situation was so serious that Winston Churchill made the long journey to Egypt to see for himself what needed to be done.

 

Churchill made changes to the command structure. General Harold Alexander was placed in charge of British land forces in the Middle East and Bernard Montgomery became commander of the Eighth Army.

 

On 23rd October Montgomery launched Operation Lightfoot with the largest artillery bombardment since the First World War.
