The Second Battle of El Alamein (23 October – 11 November 1942) was a battle in World War II that took place near the Egyptian railway stop of El Alamein.
Battle[]
British Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery, in command of the Eighth Army, launched an attack on the German-held El Alamein with aid from Britain and the Commonwealth. The superiority of Allied forces, combined with the British aerial strength, pushed Nazi Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel to divide his armored units. In the end, the Germans were forced to retreat, giving the Allies one of their first decisive victories of the war.[1]
Legacy[]
In 2012, a photograph of the British soldiers running for the front lines was acquired by the Assassin Clay Kaczmarek and hidden in the Animus for his successor, Desmond Miles to find. Desmond did so in September of that year. [2] The picture was hidden with the Glyph puzzle titled "The Bunker".[3]
