1942. Nazi Germany's Blitzkrieg enters Egypt. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, a.k.a. the Desert Fox, has his eyes set on Cairo, but first he must overcome General Bernard Montgomery, the British Eighth Army, and the area's punishing fighting conditions. Though newly colorized footage and personal firsthand accounts, we enter the heart of the War in the Mediterranean, from German fighter aces dominating the skies to British battleships contesting the seas to the desert battle of El Alamein, which will ultimately decide the fate of North Africa.
