A good source for this article would be John Bierman and Colin Smiths book ''The Battle of Alamein'', which details how the Afrika Korps were stopped at the First Battle of El Alamein and then defeated at the Second Battle of El Alamein. British casualties were high because the second battle involved the Eighth Army attacking the Afrika Korps with the result that many British Imperial soldiers marched into World War I type machine-gun fire. The British did win, however. --[[User:WOVcenter|WOVcenter]] 21:54, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

Actually I don't think it is strictly accurate to say that Operation Torch defeated the Afrika Korps for two reasons: (1) I think Torch had finished by that time; and (2) The Afrika Korps were caught between the Americans and the British. I will look it up and return later. --[[User:Horace|Horace]] 22:27, 8 March 2007 (EST)
