165 - Showdown at El Alamein - WW2 - October 23, 1942

Could this be the beginning of the big break in North Africa? The Allies have the men, the armor, and the fuel… they just have to deal with the Axis minefields to try and get started. And the Axis are throwing ever more men at Stalingrad as the Soviets grimly hold on. Another roller coaster of a week.
