El Alemein per se was not that big a deal.

History disagrees with you Walt, but just as I said, you have prechosen your position and chained yourself to it. El Alamein popped up in this conversation after you locked the chains together and happened to be inconsistent with your position. Therefore you respond to it by marginalizing the whole of the African part of the war and downplaying its significance.

That's a silly way to interpret history, Walt, but one you have thoroughly embraced and practiced time and again.

No, I said the surrender at Tunis of @ 250,000 Axis soldiers in the spring of 1943 was the really big kicker, and so it was.

This is just all so odd.
