The Battle of El Alamein took place in the North African desert in [[Egypt]] in October–November 1942. British and Commonwealth forces led by [[Bernard Law Montgomery|General B. L. Montgomery]] ('Monty' to the troops) attacked and overwhelmed a German–Italian force led by Field Marshal [[Erwin Rommel]]. Following the victorious outcome of the battle, the Allied forces chased the Germans westwards across [[North Africa]] to [[Tunisia]], where, in concert with an American army which had landed in North Africa in [[Operation Torch]], the [[Axis]] forces were driven out of Africa.
