Brian Sanders (British, B. 1937) "General Montgomery and General Rommel" Original oil painting on Canvas.

Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.

This artwork was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Marshall Islands 29c Battle of El Alamein stamp issued October 23, 1992.

One of the turning points of World War II, the battle of El Alamein in North Africa pitted General Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps against General Bernard Law Montgomery's 8th Army. The battle commenced when 1,000 British guns launched an enormous four-hour artillery barrage on German and Italian positions. Using his 6 to 1 superiority in tanks, Montgomery propelled his forces -- which included the infamous 7th Armored Division Deserts Rats -- into the Axis lines, breaking through on November 4. The Germans were defeated, and Rommel fled to Tunisia.
