The Allies fought the Axis powers in the battles of El Alamein in the Second World War. The Allies consisted of forces from the United Kingdom, Australia, India, New Zealand, and Free French forces. The Axis powers were Germany and Italy. The second battle is the more famous as it marked a turning point for the Allies in the western dessert campaign, stopping the Axis from gaining control of the Suez Canal and the Middle East oil fields. Montgomery commanded the British 8th Army and Rommel the Panzerarmee Afrika Axis forces in the second battle.
