		The Battle of Alamein, or more correctly the Second Battle of El Alamein, marked a significant turning point of World War II and was the first major victory by a British-led force over the German Army.
		Following the First Battle of El Alamein, which had stalled the Axis advance, British general Bernard Montgomery took command of the Eighth Army from Claude Auchinleck in August 1942.
		Some historians believe that the battle, along with the Battle of Stalingrad, were the two major Allied victories that contributed to the defeat of Nazi Germany.

		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 Battle of El Alamein is usually divided into five phases, consisting of the break-in (October 23-24), the crumbling (October 24-25), the counter (October 26-28), Operation Supercharge (November 1-2) and the breakout (November 3-7).
		This phase of the battle began on November 2 at 1 a.m., with the objective of destroying enemy armour, forcing the enemy to fight in the open, reducing the Axis stock of petrol, attacking and occupying enemy supply routes, and causing the disintegration of the enemy army.
		Montgomery had always envisioned the battle as being one of attrition, similar to those fought in the Great War and had correctly predicted both the length of the battle and the number of Allied casualties.

	El Alamein
		Then in the second El Alamein battle, the Eighth Army, now commanded by Lt-General Montgomery, fought successfully between 23 October and 4 November 1942 to pierce Rommel's defences, forcing him to retreat into Tunisia.
		Unlike most previous Western Desert battles, this second battle was a set-piece affair against static defences with no turnable flank and lack of fuel and transport prevented Rommel from practising the mobile warfare of which he was a master.
		El Alamein was the climax of the Western Desert campaigns and one of the turning-points of the war; the victory, as intended, influenced the French to co-operate in the North African campaign after initially opposing the landings there.

	Erwin Rommel
		In 1942 he started a classic blitzkrieg, and within weeks the British forces had been pushed back to the Egyptian border where he was stopped at the First Battle of El Alamein, although Australian forces held out in the important port city of Tobruk[?].
		After the Second Battle of El Alamein he was unable to stop the allied forces, eventually being ordered home by Hitler in 1943, just prior to the surrender of the DAK.
		After his battles in Africa, Rommel concluded that any offensive movements would be impossible due to the overwhelming Allied air superiority.

	Reviews of 'El Alamein 1942: The Turning of the Tide (Campaign)'
		The author provides order of battles for both sides which appears based upon rather dated and misleading information, as well as omitting any data on air units in the campaign (the strength of opposing air power is never specified).
		Two of the battle scenes erroneously depict tanks firing on the move, when in fact the lack of stabilization made this a waste of ammunition.
		While the British should be justifiably proud of their victory at El Alamein, this author also tends to avoid some of the criticism that appears in other, better books on the subject.

	El Alamein
		It was to go down in history as "the El Alamein position" and, before 1942 was out, would be not only the decisive turning point in the Desert War, but also in Britain's fortunes overall in the Second World War.
		The long defence by Indian troops of the Deir el Shein box and the damage inflicted by heavy artillery fire on the 90th Light Division halted the diversionary attack, whilst the Afrika Corps, severly hampered by bad going and incessant air attacks, had to abandon its envelopmentplan.
		He entered the battle in an enviable position: Rommel was away sick, and come what might Montgomery could hardly lose, for once Operation 'Torch' opened in Tunisia and Algeria on 8th November, the Axis would be compelled to retreat to save Tripoli.

	Second Battle of El Alamein information - Search.com
		The Battle of Alamein, or more correctly the Second Battle of El Alamein, marked a significant turning point in the Western Desert Campaign of World War II.
		Montgomery had always envisioned the battle as being one of attrition, similar to those fought in the Great War but he had also expected it to be shorter and less costly.
		A quick and short campaign against the Axis forces was thwarted by the mistakes made by the inexperienced American Forces and this insured that the Tunisian Campaign would be a long, hard and costly engagement.
