The Second Battle of el Alamein pushed all German forces out of North Africa and opened up the way for the Invasion of Sicily and Italy. It was a major defeat for Rommel's Desert Army.

Winston Chuchill was quoted as saying: "before Alamein we never won a battle, after Alamein we never lost one".

== The Battle was a turning point in the North African campaign. Just prior to this, the British changed their commanders. Gen. Alexander took over the command of the British forces with General Montgomery under his command. Under their command, they formed 2 mobile armored divisions that were trained for desert war. The Allied air forces and navy began cutting off the Axis supply lines.

All these changes lead up to the victory at El Alamein and the battle resulted in a change of attitude for the British 8th Army. The German army began to realize that they could not win without more supplies reaching their ports.
