The second battle of El Alamein was the turning point of the war in North Africa, during World War II. This battle took place on October 23, 1942 to November 3, 1942.
In August 1942, Montgomery was appointed Chief General of the British VIII Army in Egypt. Churchill ordered a massive supply of troops, arms, and ammunition with the intention of repelling and driving back Rommel’s army, finally on October 23, 1942, British troops launched the attack.
This battle was key in the outcome of the war in North Africa. The Anglo-American landing in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia a few days later allowed the definitive defeat of the «Afrika Korps», its Italian allies and the allied control of North Africa. This control allowed the subsequent attack on Italy that caused the downfall of Mussolini.
