==Tunisgrad==

The German civilians referred to this battle as "Tunisgrad". At the first signs of retreat, U.S. and British armour, without hesitation or delay, started in fierce pursuit; and the Axis units never succeeded in rallying effectively in spite of the strong defences available. The heavy counter-attacks which von Arnim had delivered may explain the ability of the German forces to offer prolonged resistance. When the final Allied attacks came, General von Arnim's reserves were either exhausted or in the wrong place.
