Default El Alemein

Found a VHS documentary tape I forgot about for three years.Maybe someone can help me with the title as it's missing at the beginning.The end credits show it was made by Cromwell Productios 2001 for History Channel & goes from the battles of El Agheila,Tobruk,Gazala to the final battle at El Alemein.Since being on this forum,it goes to show film of Brens,all the British & American tanks,humber armored cars,Bedfords, Fords,Dodges,CMP Cab 15 Portees carriyng 2 pounders,Cab 11 30CWT's ,CMP C-15's & 30 CWT's.Scenes also show dismounted 2 pounders,6 pounders 25 poundersThere are two scenes where Rommel is shown with captured Cab 11's & Bedford's in the background as Rommel inspects them passing in convoy..It goes on to talk about Moorehead & Frieburg from Oz & New Zealand as being two of Monty's ablest generals.At the end of the tape there is an "in color"scene at the El Alemein commonwealth cemetary with a Cab-15 CMP 30CWT up on a pedestal without it's roof or windshield.Great stuff when I can identify all manner of vehicle but what's the tapes name if anyone knows??
