CONTENTS OF REELS

Introduction:

A substantial amount of Part 7 is taken up with the Middle East and North African Campaigns. These operations spanned an enormous geographical area, from Egypt and the Middle East to Libya and Tunisia. They included some famous actions such as Beda Fomm, Operation Battleaxe, Compass, Crusader, Sidi Rezegh Gazala, Bir Hacheim, Tobruk; the First and Second Battles of El Alamein; the Torch landings in North Africa and the Battle of Tunisia including Kasserine Pass and Mareth. Churchill's files contain an extraordinary amount of detail, comment and analysis crucial to any understanding of these operations and their overall influence on strategic planning. Featuring Australian, New Zealand, British, Indian and South Afican Divisions, with US Divisions from Torch onwards, these files allow researchers a daily or week by week view of the decision making process. There are also important files on Abyssinia and Italian East Africa, Kenya, British Somaliland, the Sudan and on Air operations in the Middle East. The importance of logistics and supply on overall strategy can be studied. These papers reveal the heavy reliance of the Allies upon Gibraltar, Cairo and Alexandria as well as on vital bases in the supply chain such as Malta (see also Part 6 of this project); on operations against the Italian fleet, Crete and Sicily.

Morocco is briefly covered. There is documentation on the Oran-Casablanca railway and the future of Tangier. The principal cities of Morocco were home to many of the secret agents of both sides operating in the Mediterranean theatre.  Mines (including acoustic, parachute and aerial mines) as well as Minesweeping operations are also well covered.

The files under the headings Naval Programmes, the Navy and Naval Land Equipment offer data on the construction of new ships, the repair of damaged ships, a comparison between the British battleship HMS King George V and the American USS Carolina, reports on the disposition of capital ships, information on Soviet convoys, material on the Royal Marines, the gift of HMS Shropshire to Australia, the use of tugs for Operation Overlord and notes on various senior command appointments.
