Battle of El Alamein-Turning point in the war in the desert

Take your pick:
Try for something different than what is hyped in class. Perhaps an allied defeat, or maybe a non-American vicotry?

The German plan for Kursk was "Operation Citadel", which might be a useful search phrase on the internet.

Raid on Dieppe would be interesting, lots of info.Comment

Look into the desert raids by the brits in Africa. The OSS really crippled Rommel's force there, causing major supply shortages. All done by a few brits and americans in land rovers. Lots of daring tales to be had by them!Comment

By E-boat, you are referring to the German torpedo boat, right? I'm not sure if there were many major actions between the two. The PTboats were mainly used in the Pacific theater, as the surface actions in the Atlantic were pretty one-sided.Originally posted by 68birdComment
