Answer:
After an intense campaign against the British that saw the duel between two extremely competent and talented commanders on each side - Germany´s General Erwin Rommel, the "Desert Fox," and Britain´s Bernard Montgomery-, the German Afrika Korps retreated to Italy from North Africa. They had arrived in early 1942 to help the Italian ally that was being hit hard by the British army. Rommel was a great tactitian who knew armored warfare, and had won victories in France commanding a panzer division. He managed to cause some important defeats to the British units. Nevertheless, the Germans and the English fought the decisive battle of that campaign in El Alamein in October 1942. Rommel was pushed and forced to retreat west.
