Exhausted British Infantry, part of the famed Desert Rats, crouched low in their slit trenches, patiently waiting. Weary, dirty, and sleepless, they braced themselves to repel yet another of Rommel's ferocious assaults. Could this ragged, think line of Australians, South African, Free French, and British infantry continue to hold against the Desert Fox's veteran troops? There could be no retreat There could be no hope of relief. The British faced the Germans in the desert with their backs to the sea. This was the battle for North Africa, the conquest of a continent.
