next question is for niall. you comment on why germany did not put more emphasis on winning in north africa? troops, material, et cetera. b.j. wilson has this question to you. >> well, thank you for that question. the simple answer is that the war in the mediterranean from the axis perspective is an italian war. it's a war that is launched by mussolini in 1940. hitler has no interest in the mediterranean theater. he wants to win the war against the soviet union and he makes that decision really quite soon after the -- the campaign. after the campaign in france and after the coercion of britain though the battle of britain does not go quite germany's way, and so hitler does not see it quite his way, and so that war is just a distraction of him. and now, the admiral does come up with a plan in the summer of 1940, when germany still has a chance to make a strategic decision, and he argues that we can go after the english in the mediterranean and knock the props out with the british empire. then we can defeat the #

, niall? >> if i could have my slides? what a rookie error. thank you! there are my slides. i was saying, no one could hear me, i was saying i have always viewed el alamein as more than a single battle, but rather as a campaign. and i've always connected alamein in my mind with a famous anti-war poem by robert southey called after blenheim, which is actually about the 18th century. i think it's perhaps because blenheim, waterloo and alamein still tend to be linked, and british imagination, as victories. whatever the historical truth of the matter. one of the stanzas from the poem, in a sense seems to sum up both blenheim and alamein. he says in the poem, if everybody praise the duke through this fight did win, what's good if it came at last, quoth little peterkin, by that i cannot tell, said he, but twas a famous victory. there seems to be something about el alamein and that, that it seems dislocated from its physical presence in egypt. it seems part of the past rather than the future, and tha

niall, you're like a british football team that scores an own goal. all of a sudden they are just falling apart. but we have here for stalingrad is certainly, there is a long lead to it. one more thing, i'll throw this in and see if you guys count on it, it didn't even change the mission. the germans launched a defensive in 1943, the kursk offensive. the more i thought about, i could tell students for years in class is a turning point, don't even bother and look crazy because they know there is a turning point of world war ii. even on the base level, i'm not sure stalingrad qualifies there. >> that's very much true at midway as well, in that you don't even see the mission shifting over to the americans. now what it is, it's a point of balance and it's going to remain in balance throughout the guadalcanal campaign. until late november of 1942 when the americans finally tip that and now have decisively grabbed the initiative in the pacific war and no on the offensive. midway just created the condition to whereby we could contest for the initiative. it w
