Axis reserves hold up British advance

British artillery fires in the desert [photo at link].

In Tunisia... In the morning, following the silent advance of the British 4th Indian Division during the night, a follow-up attack is launched. It proves poorly coordinated and draws in the Axis reserve (the German 15th Panzer and 90th Light Divisions) during the day.

Also on pg 6: "Tunisian Campaign Seen Taking Up to 4 Months"

If Field Marshal General Erwin Rommel [who is long gone from Africa - HJS.] decided to attempt a German "Dunkerque" and if the campaign went as well as could be expected for the British, American [sic] and French, the North African war conceivably could be ended in six to eight weeks, military observers believe.

I'll bet you a B-17 with flight crew that it won't take that long.
