==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 earlier on in defence of Longstop Hill and Hill 609 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.
