November 8th 1942- Battle of El Alamein

British forces totaled 230,000 men and the Axis forces totaled 108,000 men, with Italians making up 42 of the 70 battalions. The losses at El Alamein were heavy for both sides: Rommel lost 25,000 dead and wounded and 30,000 captured; Montgomery lost 4,610 dead and missing and 8,950 wounded. The bulk of Rommel's casualties were Italian.

The exact numbers of dead is not easily available.

The Axis losses during the Campaign in North Africa since June 1940 totaled 975,000 men, 7,600 aircraft, 6,200 guns, 2,550 tanks, and some 600 ships of all sizes.
