In the end, at the Nuremberg trials the next day, Churchill and several of his henchmen were sentenced to death.

The widespread speculation that Churchill and his henchmen would be hanged did not appear in the trial.

What is even more incredible to the outside world is that Churchill is really as crazy as the rumors.

Although the Belfast government in Northern Ireland had long since spread the news that Churchill had gone mad to murder Princess Elizabeth, and gave all sorts of fanciful and wishful orders. However, it was not until the people saw in the newspapers the dull expression of Churchill, who walked into the Nuremberg Tribunal on the morning of the trial, that they were convinced that he was really insane.

As a result of the trial, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg approved the proposal of the French representative to exile Churchill to St. Helena.

Ironically, St. Helena was the place where the British exiled Napoleon.

......

Another purpose of the Nuremberg trials was achieved.

Montgomery in North Africa pondered for a long time when he received the outcome of the trial. But Montgomery made his decision after his staff came to report that Duke Gott had been formally invited by the three Allied member states, Germany, France and Norway, to participate in a military parade in London in the capital of Moseley's government.

Just the night before, while Reinhardt and his party had intimidated Churchill, Rommel in Africa was not idle.

After receiving accurate information that Montgomery's troops had been supplied with a full 300 M4 Sherman tanks, Romme's first reaction was not to have any scruples, but to strengthen his determination to launch the Battle of El Alamein.

In his opinion, if the British army was allowed to receive such a steady stream of equipment supplies from the Americans, then Montgomery's remnants of the defeated army, equipped with excellent weapons, would become a powerful force in North Africa again. In any case, the Allied forces had to get rid of the British before they could fully recover.

At least until now, most of Montgomery's troops were equipped with weapons and equipment captured from the Italians, and although they were much better equipped than the previous Egyptian troops, most of them were light weapons and did not pose much of a threat. But if these troops are replaced with American weapons, it will be difficult to say.

So on the night before, Rommel personally ordered the German-Italian African Army to immediately carry out the battle plan for attacking the El Alamein Line.

He decided to borrow the tactics of Berente in the Battle of Tobruk and have the large Italian forces of the African Army Group assume the posture of moving towards the Catala Basin, but in fact sent the main German forces to attack the line southwest of the El Alamein station at night.

Once the line was breached, Hans's 30th Mechanized Infantry Division could make a detour to the rear of the British army and annihilate the remaining enemy forces that had cleared the line. Major General Newman's 15th Panzer Division, under Rommel's personal command, detoured south behind the El Alamein Line, cutting off the coastal road east of El Alamein and preventing the British from escaping.

Rommel believed that as long as his troops could penetrate into the rear of the British army, Montgomery would be finished.

It must be said that Montgomery's bewilderment measures on Egypt's northern border played the role he expected.

A large number of feints, ample strategic deception, and the transfer of a general commander like Wavell to the northern frontier really made Rommel avoid the option of fighting on Egypt's northern frontier.

However, this was only a tactical success. Strategically, Montgomery's Commonwealth camp is falling apart, while the Allied camp behind Rommel is in full swing!

The combat effectiveness and combat quality of the troops in the hands of the two sides are far from comparing.

In the direction of Rommel's main attack, he concentrated all the German units of the African Army, namely the German 30th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 15th Panzer Division. At the same time, he also transferred a part of the slightly more mobile Italian 20th Motorized Division, as well as two Italian armored regiments equipped with full light tanks, to participate in the attack and defense of El Alamein.

It seems that the equipment of the mobile forces of the Italians is still unsightly, but Rommel did not expect these Italian light tanks to be able to deal with the newly replenished American Sherman tanks of the British army.

According to Rommel's plan, he would personally lead the 15th Panzer Division, the main force of the German army, against the equipment units in Montgomery's reserves.

And the Italians who fought with them only had to deal with the "temporary light armored brigades" that were confessed by the captured British in the intelligence.

To put it bluntly, these "temporary light armored brigades" are just mobile counterattack forces adapted from Montgomer's armored car regiments, which are still very different from regular armored forces.

Using Italian tanks to fend off British armored vehicles was the equivalent of fighting a relegated opponent. That's why Rommel brought Italian troops with him, or at least he thought the Italians might be of some use.

At the beginning of the operation, the German-Italian troops participating in the main attack gathered together and, according to the plan, with the Germans as the vanguard, easily broke through the checkpoint line on the southwestern border of the British army.

But Montgomery's main force, after all, was also deployed on the central border, and quickly reacted, launching a counterattack against the German-Italian forces in two directions.

This counterattack plan was made by Montgomery's adjutant.

As in the Belgian war, Montgomery, who insisted on sleeping and not accepting reports, had long stressed that he was not allowed to report to him during the night war, and at most he needed to report to him if it was not resolved during the day the next day.

Originally, Montgomery's deliberately created attitude of nonchalance was indeed as he thought, and it played a slight role in calming the morale of the army in the army. His composure, which he pretended to be strong, still infected many officers and soldiers to a greater or lesser extent.

However, during the Battle of El Alamein, due to excessive belief in Montgomery's command to "not let people approach while sleeping", his lieutenants and members of the command could only formulate a limited counterattack plan.

In this plan, they used an armored regiment equipped with M4 Sherman tanks, which had just completed training, and a "temporary light armored brigade" composed of armored vehicles.

Such a plan was originally well-intentioned, but unfortunately, the precious armored regiment, which carried out a limited counterattack, encountered the German 15th Panzer Division under the personal command of Rommel, and as a result, it lost more than 40 M4 Sherman tanks that had just been replenished in one go, and fled all the way in disgrace.

The weaker "light armored brigade" suffered no losses, and even pushed back the Italian armored forces it encountered by a small distance for the first time. However, repulsing the Italian armoured forces did not help the overall situation, and the situation did not allow them to pursue the Italian army and extend their gains.

So, when Montgomery woke up the next day, he immediately saw two very different results: a heavy defeat at the hands of the Germans, but a narrow victory over Italy.

The mere loss to the Germans already meant that the El Alamein line had been breached. Although Montgomery still had two armoured regiments in reserve, he had no hope of consolidating the defensive line. After all, Montgomery hated playing against the wind in the first place!

So, after discovering that the Nuremberg Trials had not only spared many high-ranking British officers, but even sometimes the Allies had attached great importance to the high-ranking British generals who had defeated the British, Montgomery decided to follow Goth's instructions and simply hold a solemn surrender ceremony.

Anyway, he had nowhere to go, although he could still go to the United States to continue the resistance, but in fact, for Montgomery personally, there was no need for that at all.

Moreover, the military is not the first choice of those American politicians, not to mention that the Americans have found Churchill's son as a proxy.

Thus, on the afternoon of the end of the Nuremberg trials, Montgomery also announced his surrender to the Allied forces. Since then, no army in the Commonwealth has been in a state of war with the Allied military bloc.
