1-32 SCALE BATTLE OF EL ALAMEIN BRITISH TANK CREW DISMOUNTED-CC59179 THIS MODEL IS NEW BOXED IN MINT CONDITION HAND PAINTED METAL FIGURES For three Years, Axis and Allied forces chased each other over the hostile terrian of the North African desert. The tide turned in the Allies' favour at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942. British General Montgomery spent months building up an overwhelming advantage in men and armour, before launching his attacks against Field Marshal Rommel's German and Italian troops. Winston Churchill was convinced that the battle of El Alamein marked the turning point of the war and ordered the ringing of church bells all over Britain. As he said later: "Before Alamein we never had a victory, after Alamein we never had a defeat".
