Desert Victory aka Battle for North Africa was a 1943 film produced by the British Ministry of Information, documenting the Allies' North African campaign against Field Marshall Erwin Rommel and the Afrika Korps. This documentary traces the struggle between General Erwin Rommel and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, from the German's defeat at El Alamein to Tripoli. Like the famous "Why We Fight" series of films by Frank Capra, Desert Victory relies heavily on captured German newsreel footage.
