Research by Imperial War Museum and The Royal British Legion
Written and presented by Eric De Mornay

Broadcast for the fiftieth anniversary of the destruction
of Rommel's Afrika Corps at El Alamein, Egypt, October 1942.

Contemporary voices, sounds and music, together with
reflections of Allied and Axis' personnel who were there.

Of its significance Churchill said: 'Now this is not the
end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is,
perhaps, the end of the beginning.' (November 25, 1942)

He later remarked: 'Before Alamein we never had a victory.
After Alamein we never had a defeat.'

Fifty years after the beginning of this decisive battle, Erik de Mauny,
who was  there, recalls the atmosphere among the minefields at the
desert front and behind  the lines in Egypt. He talks to veterans on
both sides, and he explains why Alamein was a turning-point both in
the allied war effort against Hitler  and in the tragic personal life of
the German commander, Erwin Rommel.
