I ended up canceling Starz because I have Netflix. Most of the movies and all of the series seem to be available for streaming at the same time they're being shown on the network. I caught Spartacus and Pillars of the Earth the same weeks they aired on Starz.
Winston Chuchill was quoted as saying: before Alamein we never won a battle, after Alamein we never lost one.   Answer   The Battle was a turning point in the North African campaign. Just prior to this, the British changed their commanders.
But simply put, it is a turning point in the most literal sense of the word: it was when the hitherto invincible German army was finally stopped, and they were turned around, back to Berlin. With a few exceptions, the rest of the war for the German army on the Eastern front was fought on the defensive.
