Overview:
Commanded by General George S. Patton, the U.S. II Corps attacks against elements of the Italian Centauro Division along the roads leading to Gabes were becoming a concern to Army Group Afrika. A breakthrough there could potentially reach the coast and cutoff the retreat of the German/Italian 1st Panzer Army. To deal with this threat, the veteran 10th Panzer Division was released from reserve and would attack the U.S. 1st Infantry Division just east of El Guettar. Alerted by intelligence, Patton made sure the 1st Infantry Division was well prepared for the attack. . .Attacker: German (Elements of Panzer Regiment 7, Panzergrenadier Bataillon II./69 and II./86, Kradschutzen Bataillon 10 and Panzerjager Kompanie 1./90)
Defender: American (Elements of the 3rd Battalions, 16th and 18th Infantry Regiments and 1st Ranger Battalion and 5th and 35th Field Artillery Battalions and 601st and 899th Tank Destroyer Battalions)
