Tunisia Campaign

The Tunisia Campaign was a series of World War II battles that took place in Tunisia during the North African Campaign of the World War II, between forces of the German/Italian Axis, and allied forces consisting primarily of US, British and small numbers of Vichy French. The battle opened with general success of the German forces, but the massive supply and numerical superiority of the allies eventually led to their complete defeat. The result was the loss of over 275,000 German and Italian prisoners of war, including most of the Deutsches Afrika Korps (DAK). It is often referred to as the Battle of Tunisia.
