After months of desperate fighting, the British have finally brought Rommel to a stop.
The enemy lie barely seventy miles from Alexandria, but can go no further. After a last, bloody attempt to break through, Rommel abandons his hopes of conquering Egypt.
Now, he must prepare for the British to attack.
The British Eighth Army, bolstered with fresh men and equipment, is faced with a daunting prospect. In front of them lie the hardened veterans of Rommel's Panzerarmee Afrika, the enemy determined to fight to the last man and bullet for every yard of ground.
