Folgore at El Alamein by David Pentland. (P) North Africa, 30th September - 6th November 1942. During the final battle at El Alamein the Italian paratroopers of the 185th Folgore Parachute Division held the southern end of the Axis defence line down to the Qattara Depression. For several days they repelled constant attacks by a succession of Commonwealth units including the vaunted 7th Armoured Division, The Desert Rats. All of this ended on November 6th, when the last organized group commanded by Colonel Camosso and Major Zanninovich, surrounded by British tanks, finished its ammunition reserves. From an initial strength of 5,000, only 306 paratroopers were still alive. For their bravery, the British gave them the singular honour of allowing the Folgore survivors to retain their weapons on their surrender. |

Battlefield - El Alamein Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat. Winston Churchills words illustrate clearly why the two battles fought near the Egyptian coastal town in the western desert during 1942 were a turning point of World War Two. This is a brand new episode from the landmark television series Battlefield. Featuring fascinating archive footage from all over the world the programme includes a review of the political and military situation before the battle, portraits of leaders and commanders, an explanation of weapons and tactics and the story of the battle itself. Vivid graphics place the battle into the context of the war as a whole. |
Desert Hawks by Robert Taylor A flight of Kittyhawks of No. 3 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force on a strike mission over the North African Desert in January 1942, in the build-p to the Battle of Alamein. No. 3 Squadron RAAF was the first in the Desert to achieve 100 confirmed victories, and continuing in combat throughout the fighting in North Africa, became the Squadron with the highest number of air victories of the Desert Air Force Squadrons. |
