El Alamein

One thousand guns burst into action as General Montgomery gave the command. The battle of El Alamein had begun. The Eighth Army attacked on two fronts, line after line of steel-helmeted men with rifles at the ready, bayonets fixed moving steadily forward. in front of the Royal Engineers clearing the minefields and by dawn the infantry had pounded deep into the Afrika Korps, but had not broken through. Montgomery’s 200,000 men included Britons, Australians, New Zealanders, Indians, Frenchmen and Greeks.
Within a week the Eighth Army had broken deep into the German defences taking prisoners and smashing their remaining panzers.
