By July 1942 the German Afrika Korps under General Erwin Rommel had struck deep into Egypt, threatening the vital Allied supply line across the Suez Canal. Faced with overextended supply lines and lack of reinforcements and yet well aware of massive Allied reinforcements arriving, Rommel decided to strike at the Allies while their build-up was still not complete. This attack on 30 August 1942 at Alam Halfa failed, and expecting a counterattack by Montgomery's Eighth Army, the Afrika Korps dug in. After six more weeks of building up forces the Eighth Army was ready to strike. 200,000 men and 1,000 tanks under Montgomery made their move against the 100,000 men and 500 tanks of the Afrika Korps.
After the victory at El Alemian, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel pushed forward against the weakened British army that faced him, On November the 3rd, Rommel set his base twenty miles from the passing of the canal, Oil taken from the British camps gave him enough strength to be able to push forward without much delay, Rommel needed to break through the British defenses one more time to have practical free reign into the Middle East. All available British and Commonwealth troops that could be spared have been set on this last-stand. With Soviet forces fighting hard against Germany in their own homeland. This is the last major force that can stop the German Juggernaut. Defeat here would mean that the Germans would have access to the Suez canal, allowing Italian shipping through to supply the armies at Cairo.
