The Allies Break Through! – WW2 – 167 – November 6, 1942

World War Two
Published 6 Nov 2021

After all these months of fighting, the British 8th Army breaks through Erwin Rommel’s Axis positions in North Africa, but the Allies have even bigger plans for that theater of war — a huge invasion of Vichy French North Africa to take place next week. The Soviets also have a plan for a huge invasion to take place very soon near Stalingrad, though the fighting in the city itself sees a lull the second half of this week.

World War Two
2 hours ago
This week Churchill orders bells to be rung across Britain to celebrate what is arguably the largest British victory over the Germans yet. After years of bitter war, and often moments of isolation, the British people sure needed this morale boost. It’s a reminder that wars can be won, and lost, on the Homefront, and the mood of the public can at times be the just as important as the mood of the soldiers on the front. To learn more about the homefront during the war, check out our series “On the Homefront” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPJPl-_VAnQ
