Crusader vs Pz.Kpfw. III
For the first half of the war the Allied 8th Army and Axis Panzer Army Africa battled back and forth across Libya and Egypt, until the arrival of General Montgomery and large quantities of Allied reinforcements. This resulted in the decisive Second Battle of El Alamein in October 1942, forcing Rommel's forces to retreat westwards towards Tunisia. Shortly afterwards Anglo-American forces launched Operation Torch, landing in French North Africa and pushing east to Tunisia from Algeria. German reinforcements were swiftly despatched and for the next six months battle raged for control of Tunisia, the last Axis toe-hold in Africa. This would be the final battleground in which the Panzer III and A15 Crusader, veteran workhorses of the African campaign, would face each other.
