Overview:
The Battle of El Alamein had been a great victory for the Afrika Korps. And now in November, Rommel’s vaunted force was moving to capture Cairo and complete the defeat of the British 8th Army in Egypt. But even as Rommel, threatened the city, British units were moving quickly from Cairo and from as far north as Port Said towards Suez to board waiting ships to take the 8th Army to safety in East Africa. Determined to stop this exodus, Rommel dispatched Ramcke’s Parachute Brigade to interdict the Sweetwater Canal and seize the bridge and railroad depot at Ma’diyah and cut off the British retreat towards Suez. Ramcke’s men would make a daring, dawn glider assault on the British Landing Ground 215 and then storm Ma’diyah and secure their objectives before the British knew what was occurring.Attacker: German (Ramcke's Brigade)
Defender: British (15th (Isle of Man) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment)
