History
"The Battle over Majardah river, also known as the Battle of Tebourba, a town on the east of the river, took place on the Tunisian Front after the successful Anglo-American landing on November 8, 1942; and represented the so-called "Race in Tunis" of the Allied troops trying to crush the last efforts of the Axis forces, abruptly sent by Hitler to Tunis and Bizerte. Main objective was to avoid the axis to regroup, form a new stable front and counterattack. However, after some first successful allied attacks, from 1 December, the German forces, reinforced by the arrival of efficient armored units, launched a successful counter-offensive with the Panzertruppen, much more experienced and equipped with the new modern panzer.
They inflicted a serious defeat to the inexperienced Anglo-American forces, forcing them to retreat, stabilize a solid front on the Tunisian border and imposing a prolonged stop to the Allied advance. War on Africa wasn't over. "
