Battle within the desert

Battle of El Alamein of the most famous battles that took place in the Western Sahara between the Allies and the Axis forces led by Rommel on October 23, 1942, Allied forces were more processing and the armies of the Axis forces
Allied forces are 195 thousand and Axis forces are 104 thousand soldier  plus the number of tanks for the Allied forces were more than double the tanks Axis forces, but this battle is the most famous battles for tanks and changed a lot of the tactics of war.
Many soldiers died on both sides where there is in the city of El Alamein has a great cemetery for all forces such as the Germans , the Italians , the British and the many nationalities. Till now  many families visit this place to remember their parents who died during this battle and  also visit the museum that battle so there is a lot of waste and soldiers who died in that desert and there are many strange stories associated with this battle and i will talk about it with details
I think the reasons for the defeat of the Axis forces here was for several reasons, where we can find Rommel suffered from an acute shortage of tanks and Supply defender plus the petroleum where he attempts to persuade Hitler about this bad situation for his forces but Hitler and Mussolini didn't have good attitude and determination.
 Hitler ordered him defends and withstand any way as well as the weakness of the Italian military capabilities and reliance on outdated methods made them easy prey for the Allied Force so Rommel lost a lot of soldiers and tanks to compensate these defects due to the Italian military were needing more experience and new tactics to change the result for this battle .

Rommel, which cost a lot of losses, but Rommel was smart when manage withdrawal and reduce losses in the months of World War II battles .
