In November 1942, the largest amphibious assault force the world had yet witnessed assembled. Three allied Task Forces and 107,000 men swiftly headed to North Africa to link up with the British Eighth Army in Libya in order to crush Nazi forces in the region. They effectively aimed to smash down the door into Hitlers back yard, gaining access to the soft underbelly of Europe.

For the first time during the Second World War, American forces came face to face with German troops. In the harsh and unyielding terrain of North Africa, the feared German Afrika Korps - under the command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel - handed out a brutal lesson in desert warfare to the inexperienced American troops; they came perilously close to driving the Americans out of Tunisia.

Using cutting edge technology, unique archive film, re-enactments and extraordinary interviews with the men who fought, this documentary provides us with an insightful and revolutionary new image of the battle for North Africa.

  • @andres2001us

    Anyone who knows anything about Rommel knows he is a man of honor. These shows are always biased against the enemy, it's life. Rommel was definitely worth respecting.

  • @FunkMan53 there was evidence?

  • HELP, I can't find "The Killing of Osama bin Laden: The Lost Evidence"

  • @elrjames777 English is not mine first language but he is just plain nuts.!!

  • @Tralgit Hard to say: he's all over the place: his vernacular indicates 'lower order' UK but English is not his first language: just gets the background from viewing u tube presentations and then hitches his ego to the winning side :-)

  • @elrjames777 Most likely a Pallywood fan.

  • @Tralgit Yeah, hes all mixed up; too many "well known facts" :-)

  • @elrjames777 Not you, this Martyn figure is a disgrace.

  • @Tralgit I leave any thinking to officers like you; I didn't insult anyone who "fought and died", whatever you think they did it for; and I didn't insult you or even Martyn either :-(

  • @elrjames777 What do you think?, have a nice day.

  • @Tralgit Do you mean mine or Martyn's :-)
