Desert War Torch to Tunis Late - '42 to Mid '43
In late 1942 with landings in Morocco, the Allies
began a two prong offensive to drive the Axis out
of North Africa. British and Commonwealth troops
were moving west pushing the Afrika Corps back
across the Egyptian and Libyan deserts. At the
same time a US lead force began moving east from
Morocco towards Tunisia. Despite the excellent
generalship of Rommel, Axis forces were gradually
squeezed into the Cap Bon Peninsula where a last
ditch effort was made to evacuate what troops they
could leaving the rest to surrender in May of 1943.
