WWII: Battlefront #2 - The Atlantic Campaign (part II)

North Africa (November, 1942)
In the North African desert in 1942, American fighting forces encounter the dreaded Rommel for the first time to stop the German War machine.It's a desert battle in which Rommel's tanks are able to cut off the British and American Armies.But Germany's inability to supply Rommel allows the allies to force him back.

Monte Cassion (September 3, 1943)
As the Allies make their way into Italy, they encounter tremendous resistance at German defensive positions along the Gustav line.One of these locations is an ancient monastery called Monte Cassino.The U.S. army has to make a controversial decision to bomb the religiously significant monastery where the Germans are entrenched.

D-Day (June 6, 1944)
D-Day, the 6th of June - one of the most pivotal moments in world history.In a massive Armada of thousands of ships, 3,000,000 allied troops land at Three Beaches in Normandy, France - one of the most incredibly co-ordinated military operations ever.Scaling the impregnable "Atlantic Wall," constructed by the Germans, turns out to be one of the most difficult and costly battles of World War II.

Retaking France (6 weeks after D-Day)
Six weeks after the D-Day invasion of the Beaches of Normandy, the allied forces are pushing the Germans back through the French countryside.Town by town is won back as Panzer divisions retreat back to the Meuse River.Finally, the Red Ball Express makes the difference and daringly gets supplies through the General George Patton's 3rd Army, allowing the Americans to crush the Germans.
