| It should be remembered that this battle lasted for two weeks. Monty had to switch his attack from one end of the line to other, the Germans fought bravely to hold the line and even the Italians held there section of line for a long time until they were over run. They had been re-equipped with 88 mm guns and used then until the tanks literally ran over them. This battle was the first major battle that the British & Commonwealth troops had won, and much of this was due to the tanks and other equipment we had purchased from America
