Winston Churchill. Actually the quote is " Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat."
The battle was a significant victory for the British , one from which the Afrika Korps never fully recovered .
Because it drove German and Italian troops out of North Africa and deprived the Axis forces access to fuel supplies in the region. Churchill also said that before El Alamein, Britain never won a battle and after it Britain never lost a battle, It was also a great morale booster and showed that German troops could be beaten - something that British soldiers didn't really believe before El Alamein.
El Alamein?it was the battle that began the retreat of the German Africa Korps, 2 crack German Panzer(armored) Divisions that were sent to assist the Italians in their conquest of North Africa, and the first major defeat of Germany at the hands of the western Allies. Winston Churchill said, "this is not the end.It is not even the beginning of the end.but it is, perhaps the end of the beginning."after the end of the war he said, "before Alamein, we never had a victory.after Alamein, we never had a defeat."this best sums up how much of a turning point this was in the war.
'Before Alamein we never had a victory, after Alamein we never had a defeat'. Not quite the truth, but it does represent the fact that the ending of the threat to the middle east & Suez was an important factor in WW2. The whole of the war in North Africa is important because it leads to the Allies re entering Europe by Sicily & the Italian Peninsula. Rommels' Afrika Korps had won much territory through Libya & into Egypt, El Alamein marks the high water mark of this campaign of thrust & counter thrust. Montgomery would go on to become the premier British commander of the War. Added to by the Torch landings in Morocco & Algeria the Allies would converge in Tunisia & eventually remove the Axis from North Africa.

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

El Alamein. There were two battles of El Alamein separated by the battle of Alam Halfa. It was the turning point of the war, along with Stalingrad in the east. As Chuchill paraphrased ' Before Alamen we never had a victory, after Alamein we never had defeat'. Noy quite the truth , but the idea is there.
If it's the battle this should help.' Two important World War II battles were fought in the area. At the First Battle of El Alamein (July 1 - July 27, 1942) the advance of Axis troops on Alexandria was blunted by the Allies, when the German Panzers tried to outflank the allied position. At the Second Battle of El Alamein (October 23 - November 4, 1942) Allied forces broke the Axis line and forced them all the way back to Tunisia. Winston Churchill said of this victory: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." He also wrote "Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein, we never had a defeat." 'Wikipedia

The battle at El Alamein was fought between German forces (Axis) and British. The outcome of the battle (a British victory) was a turning point in the war. It was said after the war, that before El Alamein, Britain never won a battle and after El Alamein it never lost one.

If you count the fact that Germany did not kill every Jew as a Jewish victory, then you can say that the Jews 'won' the Holocaust. But this would be wrong, the Jews have never defeated Germany, as they have never been in conflict.
They haven't and judging at the moment they never will.
