German forces entered North Africa to assist the Italians who had difficulty in that region. Similar to future campaigns like South Vietnam 15 years later (assisting nations in trouble), US forces entered North Africa to reinforce the British fighting there in 1942. The British were primarily using "lend lease" US supplied tanks; M3 Lee medium tanks and M3/4 Stuart light tank. The US landed forces equipped with the same, plus some M4s.
