Importance of El Alamein?
'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.
