Narrator - Eamonn Riley
There are some battles that change the course of history:
Alamein is one of those.
In October 1942, Britain and its allies were in real difficulties:
Germany and its Axis partners seemed to be triumphant everywhere -
in Europe, in Russia, in the Atlantic and were now poised to take
the Suez Canal. It was in North Africa that the stand was made, that
the tide of World War Two began to turn.
It was a battle of strong characters: the famous battle commander
Rommel and the relatively untested new British commander, Montgomery,
leading men who fought through an extraordinary eleven day battle,
in an unforgiving terrain, amid the swirling sandstorms and the desert
winds.
