My father arrived Casablanca in April 1943 with 425th Combat Engineer Dump Truck Company, Cpt. Marshall Edwin Pruett. If anyone knew him or this company, please contact me. They went on to Italy in about October 1943.

My Dad James F Butler from Georgia was in North Africa, Tunesia, Italy as a chief line mechanic on a P-38. Was wondering if you may have known him.

First of all the western campaign began on 10th may not in June.
Secondly as far as ultra is concerned monty had already predicted rommels axis of attack and when ultra confirmed this his ego was inflated …

As for rommels intelligence source in cairo ? Who knows ? But he never displayed any great intuition once that source was denied to him …

What could have been the chances of the Axis winning the battle at El Alamein, had Montgomery not beem informed from Britain's ultra-intercept what Rommels plans were and the supply routes?

I fought in North Africa with the Army Air Corps, 5th Fighter Squadron, and 52nd Fighter Wing. From Tunesia we went to Sicely, Corsica, and Italy. I still have to to live with some of the horrors of war.
