Battles of El Alamein

The First and Second Battles of El Alamein were two battles of the North African Theater of the Second World War. In the alternate universe depicted in the TACITUS series, this battle was actually a front for Task Force X-Ray, an Allied paramilitary unit, to obtain intelligence for the United States government concerning an Axis "superweapon." Though not shown, the battle-unlike the battle in the old timeline, which resulted in a victory-both the First and the Second Battles of El Alamein were a massive failure that demoralized the Allied Powers for a while.
