November 10, 1942. "now this is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Winston Churchill.
Battle of El Alamein.
 
The Expeditionary Corps just profited from the inability of the Oberkommando to seize Malta and Gibraltar.

If Rommel hadn't run out of supplies (which constantly got intercepted by Malta based fighters), El Alamain would have fallen eventually.


Nice pics nonetheless. I find the Hurri II way better looking than its (more famous) brother in arms.
 
Great recount of history!


All those Panzers down there.. Just dont shoot the Buckers... :d We can sell them after the war.

So sure aren't you? Fortunately we held Malta and Rommel got his arse kicked back to Tunisia.

El Alamein and Stalingrad - the end of the begining. The myth of German invincibility finally put to rest.

lolol... whewwww........


Thank the Lord that war is over... Those guys had rocket powered fighters, hydrogen subs that could run the full 30 days underwater, were developing the A-Bomb, could make a fuel refinery based on potatoes in months, had their own version of radar and could fight in the dark night, not to mention basic cruise missles and intercontinental missles...

Thank you God we won that one... eeeks! :kilroy:

Indeed some very, very talented engineers. Fortunately their leaders did not know how to organise a booze up in a brewary.

Postwar, the influence of those German scientists and engineers is nothing short of astonishing.
If you dig a little, you'll find their influence, from the space programmes (Soviet as well as US) to the B-2 bomber...
