This operation took place during the Second Battle of El Alamein on October 23, 1942. Lack of resources had stopped the Italian-German forces, which were only making defensive preparations at the time.
In the evening at 9:30 pm, a thousand British guns opened fire from Bir-El-Atash and Bir-Abu-Sifai. They hammered the Italian-German infantry forces entrenched in the northern and central sectors of the El-Alamein front. During the day, squadrons of bombers from the airfields on the Nile dropped their bomb loads.
On the morning of October 24, the German headquarters was bombed. At the beginning of the battle, Rommel was in Germany. General Georg Stumme, suffered a heart attack and died. General Wilhelm Ritter von Thoma temporarily assumed command as commander.
