Battle For North Africa has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
In November 1942, the largest amphibious assault force the world had yet witnessed assembled. Three allied Task Forces and 107000 men swiftly headed to North Africa to link up with the British Eighth Army in Libya in order to crush Nazi forces in the region. They effectively aimed to smash down the door into Hitlers back yard, gaining access to the soft underbelly of Europe. For the first time during the Second World War, American forces came face to face with German troops. In the harsh and unyielding terrain of North Africa, the feared German Afrika Korps - under the command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel - handed out a brutal lesson in desert warfare to the inexperienced American troops; they came perilously close to driving the Americans out of Tunisia. Using cutting edge technology, unique archive film, re-enactments and extraordinary interviews with the men who fought, this documentary provides us with an insightful and revolutionary new image of the battle for North Africa.

A North African terrorist ring with deep connections to al Qaeda could pose a threat to Western Europe, the head of Germany's Federal Intelligence Service (BND) said. Ernst Uhrlau said al Qaeda in Islamic North Africa was attempting to expand its sphere of influence beyond its established power base in Algeria. Al Qaeda in Islamic North Africa, which is also known as the Al Qaeda Organization in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb, claimed responsibility for attacks last December in Algiers, targeting the UN headquarters there and the Algerian Constitutional Court. The bombings killed at least 70 people. The terror group has also been at the heart of a string of attacks this year, including a strike east of Algiers on Sept. 28 which killed three people and wounded six others. But Uhrlau said similar incursions in the future may not necessarily be contained to within North Africa. Al Qaeda in Islamic North Africa "is not just in close geographic proximity to Europe," he said at a Berlin security conference. "It is also presently the al Qaeda franchise that is developing the most dynamically." Uhrlau said there was a "high" chance the group could seek to expand its operations into Europe. The BND president also warned the Internet was becoming a "vehicle for preparations" for aspirant terrorists seeking to organize future attacks. Born of the civil war Al Qaeda in Islamic North Africa was formed out of a militant faction -- the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat -- which ...

SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS UPDATED WEEKLY When Italian dictator Benito Mussolini declared war on the Allies on June 10, 1940, he already had more than a million men in the Italian army based in Libya. In neighboring Egypt, the British Army had only 36000 men guarding the Suez Canal and the Arabian oil fields. Italian forces became a potential threat to Allied supply routes in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. The early part of the North African Campaign was plagued by a lack of supplies on both sides. Sweeping battles took place that culminated with one side or the other's supply lines growing too long while the other's grew shorter. Major engagements of the campaign include the Battle of Gazala, First Battle of El Alamein, and the Second Battle of El Alamein. Most of the battles took place far to the east of the Italian bases and supply depots in Libya. By 1942, the Royal Navy had beaten the Italian fleet out of the Mediterranean, and allowed their own transports free movement. American forces landed in western North Africa in 1942. The Siege of Tobruk took place from April to August 1941. The Allied garrison, largely Australian, backed by British artillery and tanks, captured the fortress in the first Allied drive through Libya, and held it against great odds. The Western Desert Campaign, or Libya-Egypt Campaign, began on September 13, 1940, when Italian forces stationed in Libya launched a small invasion into British-held Egypt and set up defensive forts ...

October 10, 732 AD marks the conclusion of the Battle of Tours, arguably one of the most decisive battles in all of history. A Moslem army, in a crusading search for land and the end of Christianity, after the conquest of Syria, Egypt, and North Africa, began to invade Western Europe under the leadership of Abd-er Rahman, governor of Spain. Abd-er Rahman led an infantry of 60000 to 400000 soldiers across the Western Pyrenees and toward the Loire River, but they were met just outside the city of Tours by Charles Martel, known as the Hammer, and the Frankish Army.

Greece entered World War II on 28 October 1940, when the Italian army invaded from Albania. The Greek army dealt the first victory for the Allies by defeating the invasion and pushing Mussolini's forces back into Albania. Hitler was reluctantly forced to send his own forces to overcome Greece in April 1941, and delay the invasion of the Soviet Union by six weeks. This is the first turning point of the war, since the delay proved disastrous to the German invasion, with the onset of the Russian winter and the strong resistance of the Soviet armed forces halting it before the gates of Moscow. Although the German invasion of Greece was swift, their forces met fierce resistance on the island of Crete, where the elite Fallschirmjäger suffered almost 7000 casualties. After Greece was occupied and divided between the Axis powers, a large-scale Resistance movement developed in the country, which tied down a large number of Axis divisions. The exiled Greek government also formed armed forces of its own, which served and fought alongside the British in the Middle East, North Africa and Italy. The contribution of the Greek War and the Merchant navies in particular was of special importance to the Allied cause. Mainland Greece was liberated in October 1944 with the German withdrawal in the face of the advancing Red Army, while German garrisons continued to hold out in the Aegean Islands until after the war's end. The country was devastated by war and occupation, its economy and ...
