The Desert Generals info


I have just got through watching this series and one of the comments made in it has made me think, the statement was "If Britain had lost the North African campaign then the war would have been unwinnable".

I have always believed that North Africa was a bit of a side show so I would be interested to hear what others think of this statement because I am not sure I agree with it.
