bogdanov. slovakia, despite pressure from the european union, will convince ukraine to maintain the transit of russian gas in 2025 after the end of the existing contract. this was stated by prime minister robert fitz. at the moment, russian gas after passing through ukrainian pipes. enters central europe in transit through slovakia, and if this route is blocked due to kiev's refusal extend the contract and the sanctions pressure of the european union, then bratislava will have to buy gas from intermediaries at inflated prices. that is why prime minister fitz consistently opposes self-destructive sanctions for restoring relations with russia. end the war. if the conflict ends during the mandate of the current government, i will do everything possible to restore.

20% per annum in sber right now. on june 20, 1942, german and italian troops invaded british egypt. their target was the suez canal. when the british defense wavered. panic began in alexandria and cairo. local shopkeepers prepared portraits of hitler to hang in their shops immediately after the germans arrived. british officials in cairo began to burn secret documents. this day

went down in history as ash wednesday. it turned out like this: 150 romeri tanks are beating them here. they are going to go to cairo, that is, in general, well, a phantasmagoria, the english nation in shock. the battle of egypt was the culmination of military action in africa during world war ii. in total, the battle for this continent lasted almost 3 years. it was a very important plastdarma in terms of control over the southern coast of the mediterranean sea. how did the battle of africa affect the course of world war ii. what difficulties did the warring armies face in the lifeless desert? why did hitler never manage to win this campaign.

october 23, 1942, in the vicinity of the egyptian city of el-ala. in the middle of a deserted desert, dozens of artillery crews opened fire. the united army of great britain and

its dominions attacked the italo-german troops. the british shells covered the tanks and trucks, which were already red-hot, with a fiery shaft. when the shooting stopped, british sappers went into the desert. in front of their positions. the germans laid half a million mines. they called this deadly strip the devil's gardens. and they believed that it would be almost impossible to overcome it. however , it took the british 100,000 to clear the minefields. only a few hours. when the corridor was opened, british tanks immediately rushed into it. among them was the american novelty, the sherman medium tank. it was the first allied tank that could fight on equal terms with the german panzers.

the scots, recently arrived in africa, went into the attack with fixed bayonets to the shrill sounds of bagpipes. along with them , the indians, australians, new zealanders and french were advancing on the german positions. the number of british troops was twice as large as the italian-german forces. the fate of the battle was being decided in the battle of el alamein. all of north africa, if the british had not managed to hold the line here, then i do not rule out that the germans would have occupied cairo with a quick march, well, at least they would have taken control of northern suez, but it so happened that the second battle of alomein, the decisive battle, ended unsuccessfully for the germans. the british offensive at elalamein caught the germans by surprise. on the same day of the fighting, the commander of the german african corps, general georg stumme, was killed.

his car came under fire. and the driver, trying to save himself, did not notice how the general fell out of the car at full speed. stummy died on the spot from a heart attack. soon another shocking piece of news came to the german headquarters. the british had sunk an italian fuel tanker. there was now simply nothing to refuel the german tanks and planes with. there was practically no ammunition or water left. when hitler was informed of the catastrophic situation of the african corps near el lomain, he immediately contacted its command and said: "this is not the first time in history that determination will prevail over superior enemy forces. there is only "one choice you can offer your troops: victory or death." the brutal

fighting at el lamein lasted 10 days. the wehrmacht's afrika korps lost almost all of its armor and was forced to retreat. 20,000 german italian soldiers were killed, and another 30,000 were captured. this victory was the first major success of the british troops since the beginning of world war ii. to say that it was a rout, no, by no means, the troops retreated, but it was certainly a failure, it was a defeat in terms of importance and the loss of the opportunity to take el alamein, romel, and the german command. they understood perfectly well that they no longer had any prospects of gaining control over the soviet channel, so they had lost this important military-strategic highway for themselves, it would remain with the british. in the second battle at eleno memein, it was well, not even a first -category battle, that is, well, yes, a victory, well, there

were a significant number of such battles on the soviet-german front, but the battle at lamen was immediately made a legend. churchill said that after el alamein, we forgot dunkirk, that is, at dunkirk the english nation received a blow to the gut, it was imitation, it was a catastrophe for the english nation, it was a loss of faith in the english nation, and after el alamein the english nation understood that it could win, at least it was immediately convinced of this, and that el alamein, for them it became more than stalingrad for us, although this is completely.

century, despite the abolition of slavery in most western countries, the position of africa has hardly changed. on the eve of world war ii, this continent was a real patchwork quilt with numerous. western and central africa belonged to spain, portugal and italy. almost all of it was colonized by european powers. small coastal territories were owned by belgium, the french. the south and east of the continent were controlled by the british. in the middle of the 19th century , the suedi

canal was dug in egypt, connecting the mediterranean and red seas. in 1900, there was communication with the middle eastern dependent territories, there was communication with iran, iraq, where there was already oil, the suede canal was a link to the dominions, to australia and new zealand through south africa, this is beyond the pale, it is very difficult, that is, this is the soviet canal - this is an extremely important artery. in the early

1930s, fascist italy decided to redraw the colonial borders on the african continent. benito mussolini wanted to unite the few italian colonies in africa, the largest of which were libya and eritrea. in 1935, italian troops invaded ethiopia. thanks to their overwhelming superiority in technology and weapons they defeated the army of the abesinian king and occupied the country. in 1936. the second birth of the great roman empire, this victory from the point of view of great britain changed the balance of power. it turned out that in north africa there was a player with a certain military potential, especially since the country has very big ambitions, wants

to create a colonial empire, the so -called italian east africa is being created, that is, an indivisible colony, a powerful colonial entity is being created. musalini believed, that the italians should not only hold on to their colonies, but also expand their sphere of presence. moreover, there was a project to occupy egypt. that is, a project for a corridor between the colonies that were located in the indian ocean, well, the closest one was ethiopia for us, all the way to libya, that is , to stretch a belt and thus ensure military-strategic - dominance of italy in the northern part of the african continent. in june 1940, france capitulated to hitler. mussolini, who was always envious german fuhrer. decided to get involved in the fight for the redivision of europe without wasting time. on june 10, duci declared war on england and france. in africa, mussolini's main target was

british egypt. at that time, there were two armies in italian libya with a total of 250,000 men. but the italian troops were poorly equipped. they had only 120 light tanks in service.

which were in africa, were generally not in a very good moral position, that is, they had certain morale issues. problems. at the head of this entire group stood the governor-general of the talabatba line, an extremely charismatic personality, a convinced fascist, and one of the founders of the fascist movement, young, able to speak, able to ignite the italian troops, extremely popular, perhaps even too popular, already beginning to...

in general, the situation with morale in italy, among the italian troops was weak. the italians in general did not understand very well what they were doing in africa, but to fight for victor emmanuel to become the emperor of africa, well, of course, it is possible, but in general this is not the goal. the italians invaded egypt by 90 km. they advanced forward and came close to the nilo valley. here the duce's army ran out of water. and almost all the available motor transport, by order of the command, was taken away and transported from africa to albania. for 3 months, the italian troops stood still, not daring to go on the attack. this delay

allowed the british to accumulate forces for a counterattack. the newest british matilda tanks were delivered to egypt. on december 9, 1940 , the british went on the offensive and already on the third day of fighting, the italians were driven out of egypt. in 2 months, they advanced more than 800 km and occupied eastern libya. 130,000 italian soldiers were captured, including 22 generals. the retreating italians, having thrown down their weapons and seized trucks, tried to escape from the front at any cost. the remnants of the italian troops barricaded themselves in the libyan capital, tripoli. it seemed that a little more. and italy would forever lose its largest african colony. it must be said that the british had a very good school colonial wars. the italians

don't have such a school. yes, there were fewer englishmen, but the english held key points, strongholds, and what is a desert? it's an oasis, it's water, and it's a fortified settlement or city, because there was no front as such, by the way, this is the specificity of war, there was no front, there was a mobile front, a war of maneuverable groups, it was not a familiar war, as it was in europe, so they fought very competently, that is, some local attacks were carried out, then the troops retreated to their original positions. thanks to these factors the english managed to maintain this situation, and then duci turned to hitler with the idea that it would be nice to help. in principle, the germans were not going to get involved in the company in north africa, it was far away. it was uninteresting, it did not promise any special prospects. in principle, the germans were extremely happy with the threat to egypt. that is, that italian troops would threaten egypt. and here

a catastrophe hung over the italian army. then, in order to raise the morale of the ally, to strengthen it, it was it was decided to send there, the so-called african corps. the german african corps, created in february 1941, numbered about 100 thousand soldiers and officers. subsequently, along with italian units, this corps became part of the tank group "africa".

an extremely versatile person, a person awarded the order of pur merit, this is the highest order of bravery in the first world war in the prussian army, yes, plus at the same time romel is a very charming person, that is, he is pleasant to talk to, the soldiers love him, that there is a person who is well-spoken, he speaks well, he knows the subject, he knows tactics, he is a supporter of rapid breakthroughs, he is a supporter of advanced actions of tank troops, that is, hitler really likes this, so he does not go further, that's all, hitler once wrote down in his subconscious. that he likes rommel, he is a decisive, courageous, talented person, that's all. in a conversation with one italian diplomat, hitler admitted. i chose rommel because he knows how to inspire troops. this is simply necessary for a commander whose troops will fight in such a terrible climate, like in the arctic or africa. it was one of the most popular german.

caterpillar of one of the tanks, that's where i not in a quarter of an hour i noticed a defect in could not help but smile, the tanks went and went with a grinding and roaring. the italians looked at all this with wide eyes, having lost their surprise, the gift of the evening. still thinking about the ideal home? is it time to switch to domklik to buy an apartment in a new building or secondary market or build your own house on a mortgage? choose what everyone will like. on domklik, everyone will find housing for himself. we still have unlimited social networks, messengers, calls from berp. all for 349 rubles. сpermobile.
