El Alamein
British General Bernard Montgomery was a key figure in the North African Campaign during World War II. He commanded the British Eighth Army and played a crucial role in the victory at the Battle of El Alamein in 1942, which marked a turning point in the war against Axis forces in North Africa. Montgomery's leadership and strategic planning were instrumental in driving Axis troops out of North Africa.
The Battle of El-Alamein.
Yes. The US forces joined the British when they landed in Algiers on 8 Nov 1942. They defeated the German army in North Africa by early 1943.
There were several British Generals in North Africa. In 1940-43 British forces were commanded successively by Generals Wavell, Auchinleck and Alexander, under the last of whom Gen Montgomery commanded the 8th Army.

The First Battle of El Alamein .
The invasion in North Africa was Operation Torch. American forces landed in Morroco and British forces landed in Alegeria. Once established these forces headed west which pinched the German and Italian forces in Tunesia and Libya between them and the British forces already in Egypt.
Churchill said, not quite the truth, but you get the point: 'Before Alamein we never had a victory, after Alamein we never had a defeat'. Alamein marked the most easterly movement of the Axis in North Africa in the same way as Stalingrad in Russia. North Africa was, in many ways, a sideshow in WW2, but it was vital to the British aided by the Commonwealth forces there. ***On A+LS its El Alamein
