There are 2 battles of El Alamein in WW2. Plus the battle of Alam Halfa on more or less the same ground. The important one is that Rommels Afrika Korps were no longer in a position to threatren the Suez Canal & Cairo as a resuly of Montgomery's decisive victory which would culminate in the Axis being removed from North Africa. Sept to Nov 1942. The arrival of the Sherman tank & plentiful supplies of ammunition & fuel were crucial to the British victory. Similarly the germans were in a parlous state with regard to their supplies. It is the turning point in the war, coming as it did, just before Stalingrad in Russia.
