WWII desert warfare brought to life in colour: Fascinating images show Churchill visiting the troops and fierce fighting between the Allies and Nazis in North Africa
Winston Churchill shaking hands with Lieutenant General Ramsden, commanding 30 Corps, while visiting the El Alamein area, 7 August 1942. This image was taken shortly after the First Battle of El Alamein, in which the British successfully halted the advance of Erwin Rommel's troops into Egypt after being pushed out of Libya
British Crusader tank passes a burning German Panzer IV tank during Operation Crusader, in North Africa, in November 1941. The operation pitted the British Eighth Army against Axis forces led by Erwin Rommel and was aimed at relieving the Siege of Tobruk. It proved only a partial success as a month of back-and-forth combat left both sides at an effective stalemate
