Battlefield | The Battles For Tunisia | Operation Torch | Part 1

"The campaign in Tunisia saw the battles that finally ended the brutal war in the desert. Not for the first time, the Allies argued among themselves over strategy; if the French had co-operated with the Operation Torch landings in northwest Africa in November 1942, the combined landings into Tunisia would have been made much sooner. The Allies eventually landed unopposed, but the three-pronged offensive soon ran into trouble as they were faced with complete Axis air supremacy. The small German armoured unit (made up of only 40 tanks) drove the Allies back to Medjez el Bab. Meanwhile, Rommel’s army was retreating towards Tunisia, pursued by the British 8th Army under Montgomery, where it gave the British the slip by bypassing Tripoli.
