Rommel’s forces were able to beat back the Brits, but only as far as El-Alamein, Egypt, where the Allies made a last stand and were able to keep the Nazis from taking the continent. The real-life battles that the film will depict took place after Hitler sent Rommel to aid the Italians in North Africa, as Mussolini’s army was losing ground to the British-led Allies.
