- The end of the Battle of Kalman dealt the heaviest blow to the Commonwealth forces.
The 1st Armored Division, 2nd Royal Artillery Regiment, 111th Field Artillery Regiment, 133rd Infantry Brigade, 1st Greek Infantry Brigade, and 2nd Free French Brigade were all destroyed by the Germans.
Even Lieutenant General Woodrow, who commanded these troops, ended this dishonorable war by committing suicide.
Not only in Kalman, but also in various battlefields
For example, in Limsey.
The British 51st Infantry Division suffered the craziest attack by the German Army. Under the attack of the German 15th Armored Division and the Italian Trio Armored Division, a shocking thing happened to Italy:
Only 1,500 people of the entire 51st Infantry Division survived!
And among their commanders at all levels, there is only one left!
In the history of war, wars with such a high officer death rate are very rare.
For the British, the "Second Battle of El Alamein" was over.
It¡¯s completely over, and there is no possibility of a comeback.
On the night of October 25, the British Army High Command issued an order to withdraw across the board.
A battle between retreat and pursuit begins
The hastily retreating Allied forces were attacked by the German army from the air and on the ground. A large number of Allied soldiers were killed, captured, and missing.
What a failure, a shameful failure!
An unacceptable failure
Before the war broke out, the British never imagined that they would suffer such a terrible defeat. But this kind of thing actually happened.
When Alexander and Montgomery finally gave the order to retreat, they knew that the situation in North Africa had once again been reversed.
Now, the great situation they worked so hard to create has been completely lost in a war. And it all comes from one person:
The Skeleton Baron!
On the night of the 25th, the British High Command received a telegram from the "Fighters" organization, which read:
"General Montgomery, General Alexander, I am personally very grateful to your 'Fighters' organization. Without the existence of this organization, perhaps we would not have been able to achieve such a quick victory. Of course, we know that after this war, the 'Fighters' have already They will no longer be used by you, so now I send you a telegram with the help of them to thank you for the victory you have brought us, my British friends."
The signature at the end of the telegram is:
Ernst Alexson von Brahm.
Alexander and Montgomery held the telegram in their hands and looked at each other.
Can you imagine? Baron Skull actually used the Allied ace spy to send such a telegram to the Allied supreme commander in North Africa.
"I said, none of us are the opponent of Baron Skeleton." When failure was a foregone conclusion, Montgomery seemed very calm: "I once had illusions, thinking that when Baron Skeleton's supplies were cut off, we could win for the first time. Defeat him on the battlefield, but in fact everything was in his hands from the beginning of the war."
General Alexander nodded silently, although it was very difficult to admit this.
On October 26, the "Second Battle of Alamein" ended.
This war, which was enough to turn the tide of the entire North African war, ended with a complete victory for the German army.
An astonishing 35,000 Allied troops were killed, 60,000 were captured, and 5,000 were missing.
The loss of 100,000 people meant that the Allies lost half of their strength in North Africa.
What¡¯s more critical is that their supply base has been ruthlessly attacked by the Luftwaffe, and the Allied forces are now beginning to have big problems with their supplies.
And on the day the "Second Battle of El Alamein" ended, exciting good news also came from Iran:
The Axis ** team achieved a crucial victory in the "Battle of Zahed Barima", and Tehran is already in sight!
In this battle, the Soviet and British forces that originally controlled the northern and southern parts of Iran reunited to deal with the attack from the Axis powers.
But those German generals did not live up to Baron Alexson's expectations. They successfully defeated the Soviet-British coalition forces in Zahed Barima.
Pro-German forces abound in Iran. After the Battle of Zahid Barima, those pro-German factions became active again after a long period of silence, and were ready to welcome the arrival of the Germans and the return of the old King Reza Khan. Prepare.
The Soviet and British forces in Iran are far less powerful than the Germans.??It's so popular here. Most people in Iran would rather see Germans on Iranian soil
Subsequently, the German government began to announce a list of war criminals.
After the British and Soviet troops entered Tehran on September 17, 1941, they arrested all Germans there, including diplomats. Half of them were captured by Russia and taken to Siberia, where most of them died tragically; the other half were exiled to Australia by the British.
Now, it¡¯s time to settle accounts.
And even at this time, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Britain was still full of irreconcilable contradictions.
In early 1942, Iran accepted the "Triple Alliance Treaty". In fact, this new "ally" was divided between Britain and the Soviet Union. The British supported tribal forces and fought against the central government in the south they occupied; the Soviet Union supported the "People's Party" in the north they occupied.
Now, the Germans are here, it¡¯s time to end it all. The blood of those diplomats will not be shed in vain, and neither will the blood of those Germans.
In the "Second Battle of El Alamein", approximately 15,200 German soldiers were killed, missing, or captured. In order to win the victory, this price was completely worth it.
It has always been the tradition of the German army to defeat more with less. Compared with the Italians, the German army is the real army.
As for the Italians? Except for one Terrio armored division who performed barely passably, the other Italians
Colonel Tawaski is one of them.
This Italian colonel, who commanded 1,500 soldiers, surrendered to less than 100 British soldiers, which is enough to become an eternal laughing stock on the battlefield.
There are many things that are even more ridiculous.
While cleaning the battlefield, Major Klingenberg discovered a temporary British prisoner of war camp
To be more precise, this is not a prisoner of war camp at all. There is no barbed wire, no guard soldiers, no machine guns, and not even a bamboo fence.
The British just drew some white lines here, indicating that this is where the prisoners were held.
What stunned Klingenberg and his team members was that in such an open space, more than a thousand Italian prisoners were sitting neatly and motionless.
Klingenberg and the commandos thought they were hallucinating, but when they rubbed their eyes, it was confirmed that they were not wrong.
Yes, more than 1,500 Italian prisoners stayed in this place without any protective measures.
"Hey, you're free!" a commando tried to shout to them.
An Italian soldier who spoke German quickly replied: "Hey, don't lie to us. We are prisoners and will never escape. You think you can trick us out and then shoot us in the back." Shot?"
The commando swallowed: "We are Germans!"
"That's fake too. Look at your German!"
Major Klingenberg, who was never afraid of any danger on the battlefield, almost collapsed this time
Allies, these are Germany¡¯s allies!
He walked among the prisoners: "I am Major Fritz Klingenberg of the Klingenberg Commando. Who is the highest officer here?"
"It's me, Colonel Tawaschi." An Italian colonel came out very "majestic".
Look at his straight military uniform and his shiny leather boots. Compared with him, the German commandos feel a little inferior.
¡°The combat uniforms of these German commandos who fought hard and fiercely were covered in dust and blood, and were dirty and dilapidated.
Look at the Italians again. After such a large-scale battle, there is not a trace of dirt on them.
"Colonel, you"
Before Klingenberg could finish his words, he was interrupted by Colonel Tawaschi: "Are you sure you are German?"
"I'm sure, Colonel." Klingenberg smiled bitterly: "I tell you again, I am Major Fritz Klingenberg, directly under the command of Field Marshal Ernst Brahm."
"Aha, that Skeleton Baron!" Hearing that the person who appeared in front of him was actually a German, Colonel Tawaschi became excited and said that he was free: "Well, who won the war?"
¡°We,¡± Klingenberg replied.
"Aha, we won, then we are all heroes." Tawaschi seemed to see himself being treated like a hero, as if he saw countless Italians cheering for him.
It seems that he won this war
KlingenbergYou smiled bitterly, choosing the Italians as your allies may be Germany's worst choice.
"Major, do you have anything to eat? The British food here is not good at all." Colonel Tawaski suddenly asked.
¡°I can probably find some cookies,¡± Klingenberg said, suppressing his annoyance.
¡°If possible, he really wanted to throw these Italians into a real prisoner of war camp.
However, Colonel Tawaski¡¯s last words completely made Major Klingenberg collapse:
"You have to find me some wine, otherwise those biscuits will be very hard to swallow."
Like Baron Alexson, Major Klingenberg, who had never failed, now felt that he had been defeated by the Italian. (To be continued.
