Patton's First Victory: How General George Patton Turned the Tide in North Africa and Defeated the Afrika Korps at El Guettar

American troops invaded North Africa in November 1942, but did not face serious resistance until the following February, when they finally tangled with Rommelâ€™s Afrika Korpsâ€”and the Germans gave the inexperienced Americans a nasty drubbing at Kasserine Pass. After this disaster, Gen. George Patton took command and reinvigorated U.S. troops with tough training and new tactics. In late March, at El Guettar in Tunisia, Pattonâ€™s men defeated the Germans. It was a morale-boosting victoryâ€”the first American success versus the Germans and the first of Pattonâ€™s storied World War II careerâ€”and proved to the enemy, the British, and the Americans themselves that the U.S. Army could fight and win.
