The Battle of El Alamein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There were two battles of El Alamein:
- At the First Battle of El Alamein (July 1 – July 27, 1942) the advance of Axis troops on Alexandria was blunted by the Allies.
- At the Second Battle of El Alamein (October 23 – November 4, 1942) Allied forces broke the Axis line and forced them in a retreat that pushed them all the way back to Tunisia. Winston Churchill referred to this as "not the beginning of the end, but, perhaps, the end of the beginning".
- The Battle of El Alamein is also the title of a 1969 film by Giorgio Ferroni about the events of the first battle.
