Where is Kasserine Pass and what happened there?
Kasserine Pass is a mountain pass in Tunisia in North Africa. During the early period of WWII, the American 34th Infantry Division [the Iowa National Guard], along with the British 78th Infantry Division were advancing eastward out of Algeria, in pursuit of German forces under command of General Erwin Rommel. On 19 February 1943, Rommel's forces counter-attacked the pursuing Allied forces, whose leading elements had "dug-in" [set up defensive positons] in the Kasserine Pass. Due to the combat experience of the Germans, their superior familiarity with the area, and the reletively inexperienced British and American forces, the Germans gave the Allies a fierce beating during that engagement. This battle was the first major failure for the Allies. However, they did quickly "get a grip," reorganized, and continued to put eastward pressure on Rommel's forces, driving them out of Tunisia.j3h.
