The pivotal role in the surrender of German and Italian forces during World War II was largely attributed to the Allied military leadership, particularly figures like General Dwight D. Eisenhower and General Bernard Montgomery. Their strategic planning and successful campaigns in North Africa, Italy, and the Normandy invasion significantly weakened Axis forces. Additionally, internal dissent and the overwhelming pressure from Allied advances contributed to the eventual capitulation of both German and Italian military commands.
Erwin Rommel the "Desert Fox".
It removed all Italian and German Forces from North Africa.
The "Africa Corps" was the German unit fighting in North Africa under the command of General Rommel, the "Desert Fox." The commander of US tank units opposing Rommel in North Africa was General George Patton.
The Italians were not involved in the Battle of Britain, but rather they were in Africa.
The German forces were primarily defeated in North Africa at the Second Battle of El Alamein, which took place from October to November 1942. This decisive battle marked a turning point in the North African Campaign, as British Commonwealth forces, led by General Bernard Montgomery, successfully repelled the Axis troops under General Erwin Rommel. Following this defeat, the German and Italian forces were forced into a retreat, ultimately leading to their surrender in Tunisia in May 1943.
