Tunisian campaign
17 Nov 1942 – 13 May 1943 · Tunisia
After Torch and El Alamein, Axis forces were squeezed into Tunisia between the Anglo-American 1st Army and Montgomery's 8th Army. Rommel inflicted a sharp defeat on US troops at Kasserine Pass in February 1943, but the Mareth Line was broken in March. Tunis and Bizerte fell on 7 May and the last Axis forces, about 250,000 men, surrendered on 13 May 1943.
