Allies Win Sea, Air Battles In Fight For Africa

An Allied convoy nearing the coast of North Africa. Desperately the Luftwaffe tries to stop fresh troops and equipment reaching United Nations forces closing in on Rommel. But the convoy comes through and more and more like them. Bringing food, ammunition, supplies, troops from England and the United States in a never ending stream.

Attack by night and still Allied guns blaze defiance. The wounded come ashore as the Nazis air force makes its last attempt to dive bomb ships waiting to unload. And again the Luftwaffe is driven off.

On the Tunisian front British engineers render harmless land mines left to cover the German retreat. From the south the British drive is on in force as Americans push through the central sector. The wreckage of a shattered army lies strewn across the desert. In Africa the Nazis' days are numbered.
