Each day builds history. Take a look at this day in history with Edwin Newman. Several months after General Bernard Law Montgomery took command of the British Eighth Army in August 1942, his decisive victory at El Alamein pushed the Germans out of North Africa and helped change the momentum of World War II. In 1945, as British commander in Northern Europe, Monte accepted the unconditional surrender of Germany. A stern disciplinarian who frowned on drinking and smoking, Monte was lavishly decorated and knighted for his unquestioned ability to inspire his troops. Perhaps the most successful British general since Wellington, he never lost a battle. The unconventional Montgomery later called for the withdrawal of Britain from the Middle East, and to the day of his death remained a symbol of Britain's World War II comeback. It was a part of this day in history. You relived it on the History Channel. Hi, I'm Nina DaVinci. Welcome to the History Channel. Thank you.
