The battle took place at the Egyptian rail junction of El Alamein located 106 km west of Alexandria and 240 km northwest of Cairo. Allied forces broke the Axis line and forced them in a retreat that pushed them all the way back to Tunisia. The outcome of the battle was so significant that Winston Churchill said of this victory: "This is not the end, nor is it even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." He also wrote "Before Alamein we had no victory and after it we had no defeats".
