Battlefield: El Alamein (2008)

Before Alamein, we never had a victory. After Alamein, we never had a defeat. Winston Churchill s words illustrate clearly why the two battles fought near the Egyptian coastal town in the western desert during 1942 were a turning point of World War Two. This is a brand new episode from the landmark television series ‘Battlefield’. Featuring fascinating archive footage from all over the world the program includes a review of the political and military situation before the battle, portraits of leaders and commanders, an explanation of weapons and tactics and the story of the battle itself. Vivid graphics place the battle into the context of the war as a whole.
