October 1942: Crisis in the Deserts, Cities, and Jungles

In October 1942, the military situation was reaching a critical point around the world. In Egypt, the British needed a decisive victory. In the Soviet Union, the Battle of Stalingrad was reaching a turning point. In the Pacific, the Guadalcanal Campaign was entering a critical phase. How did these three very different battles shape the direction of the Second World War? Why were they so important to the Allied war effort? Join a ranger to discover how these three battles influenced the course of the war.
