El Alamein?it was the battle that began the retreat of the German Africa Korps, 2 crack German Panzer(armored) Divisions that were sent to assist the Italians in their conquest of North Africa, and the first major defeat of Germany at the hands of the western Allies. Winston Churchill said, "this is not the end.It is not even the beginning of the end.but it is, perhaps the end of the beginning."after the end of the war he said, "before Alamein, we never had a victory.after Alamein, we never had a defeat."this best sums up how much of a turning point this was in the war.
