His exploits in the early part of The Second World War defined the concept of armored warfare, and played a major part in the swift conquest of France. Yet it was the fearsome and dynamic campaign against Commonwealth forces in North Africa that would lead him to be dubbed “The Desert Fox” by his adversaries, many of whom would go on to call him the finest Axis general of the war. But for all of Rommel’s skill, ingenuity and cunning, the 2nd Battle of El-Alamein would not only be a clear defeat for the Axis, but mark a turning point for the entire campaign. Join us now as we cover this pivotal shift in Axis fortunes, and explore exactly how the Desert Fox was driven from North Africa in November of 1942.\n
