WHEN First Battle of El Alamein Second Battle of El Alamein July 1, 1942 – July 27, 1942 Second Battle of El Alamein October 23, 1942 – November 5, 1942

OUTCOME The Allies won and Germany was forced out of Africa. Supply routes and oil fields were protected!

Four reasons why was this battle was important? Seen as a huge victory in World War Two and so improved morale. When the Allies won they had control of the Mediterranean sea (supply channel) and the middle east oil field (power). The battle ended the African campaign. It allowed the Allies navy easy access to Italy.

4 facts to know… Erwin Rommel was on sick leave when the battle began but having personally planned the defense commanded thirteen divisions and five hundred tanks, totaling about 100,000 men. Erwin Rommel's nickname was THE DESERT FOX because he constantly improvised and used tricks in order to outsmart his enemies with surprise attacks.  During the battle, both flanks were sealed by The Qattara Depression (salt marshes) and the Mediterranean Sea, which is strange because it was a desert war. A large part of the German Army attacking El Alamein were Italians.
