DESERT WAR is an exciting, insightful and often surprising account of one of the most celebrated campaigns of the Second World War -- the war in North Africa. Compelling testimonies of veterans from both sides, seamlessly interwoven with archival footage and graphic dramatic recreations, bring the famous siege of Tobruk and the battle of El Alamein to life.
ALAMEIN, Episode Two: 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.
