The Battle of Tunisia


alt 

BACKGROUND

The Battle of Tunisia

The Western Desert was a battlefield with two flanks, the Mediterranean sea and the
Sahara Desert. Between this lay the coastal desert over which the British, Austrialian,
New Zealanders, Poles, Indians, Ghurkhas, Free French, South Africans, Greeks,
Germans, Italians and Libyans would fight. They would bring with them all that modern
warefare could supply there forces. The greatest feature of this area was the coastal
escarpment west of Mersa Atruh. The Western Desert is an illusory  place, at first; it
appears flat but in fact provides many hiding places for vehicles. It was the perfect
battleground for modern combined arms warfare and would provide the learning
grounds for many ideas relating to this modern form of warfare. A form of warfare,
which tactical air power, was intrinsically linked. Thus, because of the nature of the
Western Desert, the battles ebbed and flowed across Libya and Eygpt and only in
1942 with the help of American aid; Britain was able to push the German-Italian
armies back towards Tunisia.
