How Britain’s 8th Army Destroyed 52 German Tanks

Описание: The Battle of Medenine was one of the most devastating defensive victories of the North Africa campaign.
On 6 March 1943, Rommel launched Operation Capri — a last desperate armoured attack against Britain’s Eighth Army in southern Tunisia. What he did not know was that British intelligence had already read the signals. In the days before the attack, Montgomery turned the ground around Medenine into a hidden killing field of anti-tank guns, artillery, and perfectly prepared fire plans.
When the Afrika Korps advanced, nearly 200 German tanks drove straight into a trap.
In this documentary, we break down how Britain’s Eighth Army destroyed 52 German tanks without losing a single tank in combat, why the Battle of Medenine mattered, how Ultra helped shape the battlefield, and why this failed attack effectively ended Rommel’s offensive power in North Africa.
