In the first our four-part Tunisgrad series, Saul sets the scene by covering the North African campaign from September 1940 to November 1942. Beginning with the Italian invasion of Egypt, the initial British successes, and the arrival of Rommel's Afrika Korps.
We then track the brutal back-and-forth struggle across the desert, culminating in the Axis high-water mark of mid-1942. The episode climaxes with the decisive Second Battle of El Alamein, a turning point that forced Rommel's retreat and set the stage for the Anglo-American invasion of French North Africa, known as Operation Torch.
Join us as we explore the campaign that reshaped the course of World War II.
