De Battlefield.cl

August 30th, 1942.

In a final attempt to fight off the precarious situation Rommel was about to get in the Alamein sector, he started a major offensive with the goal to break through the British lines in the southern sector, turn to the north and close in on the British forces. On the other side Montgomery, who just took command of the British 8th Army and had access to intelligence reports that gave away Rommels plans, was preparing his defence at Alam el Halfa.
