RE: THE TEN YEARS GAME: EL ALAMEIN: Axis surrender
GIO !
OMG !
I had no idea that the fight was still on.
I got dropped out at the end of 2011 as the Axis Italian X Corpo.
About turn 37 then ... and X Corpo was falling back.
My Pavia Div was doing a risky rearguard , too close and
getting shot up for the trouble.
Brescia Div was mostly destroyed and overrun in parts ,
and Folgore AB Div ( Mike Amos ! )was reduced , survivors were
also falling back.
My command had urged that 21 Pz.Div elements get north NOW,
as trouble was brewing just north of the X Corpo zone.
SO .... looks like " kaput " for our guys after all !
What did happen to the X Corpo ?
And .. YES .. British Artillery was very, very bad news !!
Regards, Senor' !
