Desert War

Alamein (1x2)

Air date: Apr 25, 2013

A brilliant Axis intelligence coup helps Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps sweep forward to threaten Cairo and the Suez Canal. At a tiny railway halt called El Alamein, the Allied Eighth Army – bolstered by Australia’s ‘Rats of Tobruk’- draws a line in the sand and fights a battle that will transfix the world and help turn the tide of the Second World War.
